Thanks for the tip about the Win 10 Nvidia driver. I hope that your results were positive once the monitor had been removed and analysed. Tend to panic slightly if I feel as much as a tiny twinge in my chest, most of which are probably quite natural for people of a certain age, but I'll probably get over it. I am seriously considering going back to Win 7. I loved the simplicity of the games I had before. Apparently there are "apps" which you can get from the "store" but I have had a look at some alternatives and don't really like them. I played these games every night before going to bed as a means of clearing my mind. I am also mightily displeased that when installing Win 10 Pro the games that I had with Win 7 Pro (Mahjong, Solitaire, FreeCell and Chess) have been obliterated. I might just have to pay for a professional computer person to come and sort things out for me. When viewing my plans I have found that they have lost the sharpness and clarity I obtained with the Nvidia product and I can't find anything in the Win 10 settings which will allow me to set the Nvidia card as the default.
I am also quite pee'd off that Microsoft has deemed that, when I upgrade, it will disable the Nvidia graphics card I bought particularly for use with my HD product and install something inferior in it's place.
I have, however, found that the settings are not user friendly (which is par for the course as I am not a computer geek) and I loathe having to enter a password every time I start my computer. As mentioned by David the installation was trouble free.
Well, yesterday afternoon I bit the bullet and did 2½ hours of navel gazing while Windows 10 installed itself on my machine. Will I be able to do anything anywhere near it using Architectural?Īnd if my impressions about the compatibility between Windows 10 and my current software are wrong please don't shout at me! I have only been out of hospital for a few days after having a couple of heart attacks and am feeling somewhat sensitive and emotional.
Some of you will know the sort of work I do using my current software.
(Strangely this is only a few of Pounds less than what I paid for HD Pro in 2014) HD Architectural 2016 £125/$195 which I could try and save for over 5 weeks or so. HD Pro 2016 £296/$462 - too expensive as I can't not eat for two weeks.Ģ. I expect to hear quite soon as to when my Windows 10 download from MS will be available to me so I have been weighing up my options which, for someone whose pension/income is a mere $234 a week, are seemingly severely limited.ġ. and from what I have read on discussions elsewhere it would seem that my HD 2014 Pro software will not work properly on the new platform and is therefore redundant with a lot of work that I have done and the dosh it cost me to buy down the drain.
