Well, that's the thing...the card in question is working fine in the older W10 system. When time allows, I'll bring it back up and check what drivers it's using...as far as I remember, I didn't have to install anything originally for it to work from a fresh install of W10.

Read the rules at the top. There is a forum for this.

Have you been to the hardware/devices forum? The last post was 2 months ago...nobody would see a post there...and it's certainly not a programming question.

If it came with the mobo I suspect it probably is locked to it, although in the past when I've seen that done they'd generally do something weird (eg the card and its slot used a backwards PCIe connector) so you couldn't actually plug it into anyone else's board.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm thinking this may be the case which is why I went shopping locally for a new one...the local chains have all quit keeping them in stock...plenty of video cards but not one sound card! 
If indeed that is the case, it's the first time I've encountered a plug-in component for a specific mobo maker.
I suppose I'll have to order one online, or hit one of he specialty shops around town. Of course, there is still the possibility that there is a problem with the slot but I have no way of knowing without spending a little change...and waiting.

After stealing recipes from The Kitchen King[^], most enjoyably the gulyas[^] (and do garnish with the cream as suggested!), I've now tried tasted a recipe as suggested[^] by MunchiessMatt.
First, it looked cool and relaxed when it was made; there's not a lot of stirring going on once it is in the pot. If you're Dutch and looking for the galangal, you can order it online here[^]. Kaffir leaves can be ordered here[^]. There's some safety-warnings in the video that Matt linked to, be sure to heed them.
It was delicious. We had some Turkish bread as a side instead of rice, which was great to mop up all those juices 
If you haven't tried the drowned chicken or the gulyas then be sure to give it a try on a slow sunday. Getting the herbs is the hardest part, but I'm pretty sure I'll be making this again. If anyone else has a recipe to share, I'll try them all. At least those containing ingredients that can be legally obtained

Why did the chicken cross the road ?
To get drowned.

My favourite dish is swedish lamb - Google Search[^], not sure which variation is best as the wife has been making it for decades from a recipe she snaffled from somewhere.

Cool, and thanks; cooking lamb with coffee is not something that I heard before, so definitely going to try it

THats a classic french version, but there are a lot of different recipes for sweedish lamb, so which is genuine!

The one my wife cooks, don't give a rat's which is genuine.

Oh I know precisely what goes into it, what I don't know is if it is the "genuine" recipe. And no there are no anchovies!

Well, it is actually 'underwater' chicken, because a pan of cold water is put on top of the cooking pan, to condense the juices back in.
But yeah, those juices, they are something to behold!
Did the kitchen have almost no smell when it was cooking? That ius what I found. All the flavour was staying in the pot, resulting in an incredible flavour profile.
I got my recipe off hotthaikitchen, if you want thai food, I can recommend it, it has a lot of recipes.

Yup, almost no smells, until you lift the pot and this waft of smells greets you

It's good to vary, and it is nice to have something completely different now and then. For normal meals, I'll try to use local materials. Also because it is half the price of stuff that is brought from afar

But those mail order herbs and spices do last a long time I find, even using them in reasonable quantity.
The only one I have really ripped through, because it is so damn versatile, is Thai sweet basil. I use it in a lot of Indian recipes too, like vadas and bhajis.

With indian food I think of curries and rice, not fried food - but those were inviting pictures

It is staggeringly healthy, and incredibly tasty. SO tasty it leaves you feeling full, even though you arent always.
I dont eat breads, admittedly, or noodles, or white rice mind you, to keep it low GI.
But the spices too, one reads every day that turmeric is good, garlic and onions, chillies.
The meat is either chicken or fish, so zero fat pretty much. And I generally use plain oil for frying.
If I need something like flour there is chick pea flour, good source of protein, and brown rice flour. Again low GI.
It is also a high fiber diet, loads of veg, salads, etc.
It is good all over, and damn tasty. WHat more can you want!

That would be preferable for most people, but I'm currently avoiding those a bit to keep it easier to digest.

I need to gain weight, so I often do eggs and bacon. Or fries with satay-sauce and fried unions

If you have a pressure cooker, give this recipe a try: Colombian Chicken Soup[^]. The recipe is super simple, takes less than ten minutes to prepare, and it tastes wonderful. I have found that using only the dark meat gives a much deeper flavor profile.
