[dba-Tech] Windows 10 drivers NVIDIA geforce monitor - Final

[John R Bartow]

Nothing wrong with that. My Win10 system has a full backup of both its
Windows 7 and Windows XP versions on the server that I can restore in short
order if I want to.

My Windows 98 system remains Windows 98 :-)

Okay, the bottom line is:

My Win 7 box remains Win 7

My Win 8.1 box remains Win 8.1

My Win XP box remains Win XP

Sometime next year I will purchase a Win 10 box.

The separate boxen, running different OSs will continue as before.

Thank you to everyone who responded.
