Thanks for the reply. I installed Win 10 Pro on my Intel quad Q9400
over Win 7 (x64). Worked without a hitch and so far seems to be doing
okay. No driver problems. It doesn't seem to have any more snap than
Win 7. I'm wondering if a new install would make any difference.
Tomorrow I'll run Lightroom and CS6 and see how it responds. I have 4
GB on RAM on this box. It never uses more than about three GB. I have
6 GB on my other PC and with a lot of effort I can't get it to use
more than 4GB or so.
