[78-L] digital dilemma

[Malcolm]

No idea of the fix but I run Windows 8.1 on a Windows 10 platform on my 
3 year old Dell. What's annoying is that 10 is still there lurking 
beneath 8.1 and sometimes it rears it's ugly head. But I can ignore it. 
I run most of my audio gear and Word on 8.1, inherited from my XP, and 
it all works fine.
Just sayin'.
