I suppose I could look it up, but I'm already trying to grab the compendiums like this one:īut that's only current through Windows 7. I'm really becoming disturbed at my growing intellectual stagnation - next year, my 70th. What did you manage to do successfully with IPv6 that wasn't being done to your needs with IPv4? Seriously. Because I got everything to work properly, I never really investigated what purpose IPv6 provides to me. Once I had set up my household LAN many years ago, I simply got used to configuring within IPv4 TCP/IP. Should I just leave them alone? Could someone offer a decent explanation as to what they "do?"Ĭlick to expand.Just to spotlight my ignorance again to myself, I have a question about that. I might feel comfortable deleting "ghost drives." Now I'm wondering what to do with these eight "ghost" network "adapters." I did nothing to put them in DM - they were just "always there" before I checked "Show hidden devices." Here are the ones which were "hidden" and appear as grayed-out "ghosts:" Here are the ones that are not hidden or "grayed out:" Now I also discover that I have "ghost" network adapters. They had been "hidden drives" - revealed by choosing "Show hidden devices" in DM "View." They unmistakably indicated drives that had been in the system, but had been physically removed. I discovered in this learning process, after installing and removing, or simply swapping an SATA or NVMe drive, that I had "ghost disks" reported in Device Manager under "disk drives." With the kind advice and assistance of another member, I removed these.

Anything that remains is just a "benign warning." I have eliminated all the red-bang Event Log errors in both OSes, and any yellow-bang warnings that I can.

Through much blood, sweat and tears, I have set up a dual-boot system of Win 7 with Win 10. I'm still getting acquainted with Windows 10.
