The ( Roland ) Edirol UA-25 and Windows 10

There are times when I discover something in the process of getting a piece of technology to work and feel the need to spread the news, this is one such occasion.

The Edirol UA-25 us a good quality sound card with (for me) the key feature of an analogue limiter built in.

You can thus feed a signal into it close to digital peak level without the risk of clipping.

However there isn't a Windows 10 driver.

A thorough Googling leads you to some excellent instructions for overcoming this at:

I can confirm that this worked fine on my 32 bit Windows 10 installation.

I found that just updating the unknown device with the driver (once modified) and accepting all the unsigned driver warnings was enough to overcome the problem.

I didn't need to do the switch for unsigned drivers command.

Use your Edirol UA-25 on Windows 10 and enjoy !

A new life for a Dell Latitude 10 ST2 with Windows 10

I write about things that have caused me problems but I take my hat off to people who toil with challenging computer problems and when they solve them, document the solution for the assistance of others.

One such writer, to whom I shall be eternally grateful is the author of this article on upgrading a dell Latitude 10 ST2 tablet to Windows 10.

The Dell position is that this isn't supported.

Actually, if you can overcome a few hurdles that Dell place in the way the tablet will run an early version of Windows 10 extremely well.

Also, and to my relief, the Windows 10 install seems to have an acceptable licence by virtue of the previous Windows 8 or 8.1 install.

Fantastic !
