    Can you revert to Win 7?

    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on what is now considered a "Legacy" piece of equipment which, is undeserving of support because of some bullshit Vertical Marketing strategy based on "Design Obsolescent".

    Now, my sound card and display adapter are stuck in some default driver mode that doesn't allow me to manipulate the inputs; Windows 10 (appears) has turned my inputs into output ports on my sound card and, I cannot extend my desktop, only mirror it on the other monitor. That has messed my amateur radio enjoyment.

    Damn you Microsoft!

    That's my next to last option; I'm gonna drink a few cups of coffee over the next couple of days and make a decision, gonna investigate:

    1. Buying a sound card that is Win-10 compatible.
    2. Upgrading the Display Adapter.
    3. Figuring out why my Digital mode are not working
    4. Reverting to Win 7
    5. Deciding that it has reached, 'The point of diminishing returns' and donate it to someone.


    Oh, not necessarily in that order!

    Does the card manufacturer make a Win X driver available? If so, did you download and try it?

    GeForce 6600 is considered a legacy product, not compatible with Windows so, generic drivers make it work but does not unlock all of the features.

    Rent a U-haul and let me know when you will be arriving.
