[dba-Tech] Windows 10 drivers NVIDIA geforce monitor

[Gary Kjos]

Yea I saw that as I scrolled further down.  Some work and some don't
and some aren't happy with the end result even when it did work.  We
use 7 at work and I run 10, Vista and XP at home on different systems
and I can move from system to system and share things across all of
them pretty much without issues.  I did learn that supposedly my old
XP Laptop could possibly be upgraded to 10.  But it's just too old to
mess with I think. Pretty sure I got it in 2005 so 11 years old.
Still works OK as is and so I'm using it that way.  And now as I
posted a while back that system is having trouble maintaining it's
wifi connection so I think it's loosing it hardware wise too.
