Compatibility problems on Windows 10 Home Premium 64 & 32 bit RRS feed

    I have 4 versions of Windows 10. The 64-bit Professional is fine: no problems. When I change to the 64 or 32 bit Home Premium platforms (on the same PC through an Icy Dock system) I have problems! Every time I open Settings & then try to open anything else, eg system tools or files, the screen freezes up. The mouse pointer still works, but nothing else. I am now certain that it is a compatibility problem with my G-force 970 Nvidia adapter & all of the Home Premium platforms (but NOT with the Professional platform). These Windows 10 platforms are all upgrades from previous Windows 7 or 8.1 versions. Can you find out why this happens?

    Also, when I install a clean version of Windows 10-64 Home Premium from the disc, every time a driver for the Nivia 970 is installed & the PC reboots, the screen locks! No desktop icons, just the taskbar icons. No mouse or keyboard either! At the moment, I am keeping the Nvidia adapter uninstalled through the Device Manager, but this will obviously not fix what is a serious problem

    Hello,

    I'd ask the system manufacturer.

    You could also ask in the Windows 10 forum on Microsoft Community.

    As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

    Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion'

    Hello,

    The MSDN, TechNet and Expression Library Feedback forum is to "Help improve the Library Experience in MSDN, TechNet and Expression by providing feedback on features, bugs, look and feel or by just providing suggestions". This is not a support forum.

    As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Where is the forum for... forum.
