Upgrade to Windows 10 for USB 2

Read http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html before downloading Windows 10. Very informative, and how I set mine up.

Thanks Al, most interesting.

Thanks very much Buck, I will check it out.

Not sure if this is an issue for all USB Audio, but it had my wireless network adapter dropping the LAN connection - so no access to my NAS drive - where my music is :-(

Under certain power saving settings Window 10 allows the computer to power down USB LAN adapters.

To fix this - Start Control Panel

Then select "All Control Panel Items" and then "Network and Sharing Center"

Then select "Change Adapter Setting" (top left of screen)
- right click on the wireless adapter you are using and select "Properties" from the displayed menu.

Click on the "Configure" button on the Network tab
- select the "Power Management" tab
- make sure the "Allow the computer to turn off this device..." checkbox is unchecked
- Press OK

Once I did this all of my LAN related issues were fixed

If you use Ethernet cable to cvonnect to the LAN - this is not an issue.

Regards...

Thanks Al and Willie.
