If you log on to the webpage of the manufacturer of your computer, there should be a "downloads and drivers" section. In three cases (two Dells and an HP), the site recognized my computer then did an analysis and listed the drivers I needed to update for Windows 10. On both sites, I simply clicked on the links for the drivers and they pretty much automatically updated. This took care of the video drivers on the two computers where I had a problem; the third was ok to start with. Another way of updating the video driver is to go into devices and right click on the video driver. This pretty much solved that problem for me. What is so amazing to me is that I, too, contacted Adobe. The technician could never figure out why PS wasn't working right and, finally, simply hung up! I'm not completely convinced that the problem here is Windows 10.

They are probably talking about professional shoot for commercial purposes. This does not apply to the avid hobbyist going to the beach to take some photographs.
Agree!!! I have been taking photographs up and down the coast for years and never asked about a permit. In fact, it is sometimes hard to get a good shot because of all of the photographers with their tripods.
Thanks for the advice on VLC. I have been working with computers since the punch card days too and updated two fairly new computers to Windows 10 without issue. I was amazed how flawless the experience was given some of my past upgrades. I also have another PC that came with Windows 10. I would say the one program I seriously miss with windows 10 is the Windows Photo Viewer, which, for me is a quick and easy way to check out which photos I want to bother with and which I can trash. I was happy in doing the update that I could easily get pictures to open in the old Photo viewer, something I miss on the clean installed Windows 10 on my newest computer. I know there has been a lot of discussion on here on alternatives to the photo viewer. It is just a personal preference that I like it. Just another thought on update vs clean install. Otherwise, so far, I have noticed no differences between the upgraded computers and the one that came with windows 10.

Thanks, Adorama is a good suggestion, I will give them a call. It is actually the frame on the back that I am looking for. Thanks again.
I am probably diverting this thread some--so sorry, but it raises an issue I have had for a couple of years now. I have some metal prints that I ordered before really understanding how I wanted to mount them. I would love to use wall floats, but I have never really been able to find just the wall float backings for sale anywhere--art stores, online,asking around etc. Googling wall floats brings up all kinds of things but nothing like the wall floats on the prints that I have ordered more recently. Does anyone here know where I could buy just the wall floats to secure to the prints I have. Do they have some other kind of name that I am unaware of? Thanks
The Sony RX100 III and IV are terrific, small pocket cameras with viewfinders. You can shoot in raw. For a lot of camera in a small package that will fit in a pocket, it is hard to beat.

yes
I have a 6D and the 16-35 F4. Obviously, you gain some light advantages with the 2.8, but the 16-35, in my perspective is lighter and sharper in the corners. In fact, I have found it to be a nearly flawless lens, and it stays on my camera most of the time. The 6D, 16-35 F4 is a great combination for traveling in Europe and other cities with large buildings and small streets. The 6D also does very well in low light so I have been able to get amazing shots in interiors. Even when GAS attacks come on, I can't imagine getting rid of the 6D with the 16-35 f4 lens.
You are probably a lot younger and in better shape than I am so some of the larger mirrorless cameras might be better for you. I tried practice hikes with a canon 6d, but found there was no easy way to carry it and it started getting heavier as I got up the mountain.
I finally did whitney with and Sony RX100--1st model. I got beautiful pictures and what I liked about it was that I could carry it in a pocket and get it out easily when something amazing came up. We hit really bad weather--heavy rain and snow near the summit and experienced significant showers all the way down the mountain. The moisture didn't seem to affect the camera at all. It is what I use all the time now when I am not on level ground. I have an RX100-iii now, which is a great street camera, but I still like the original model in the mountains.
His book for the rx100 III is terrific too. I think it is exactly what you are looking for.
I think the 24-105 will work fine. However, when I was in Europe last summer, I almost never took the 16-35 f4 lens off my 6d. It is a brilliant lens for Europe's wonderful buildings, small streets, etc. On previous cameras, I was often frustrated trying to photograph the interiors of cathedrals, churches, synagogues. This one worked will. If you can afford it, I would recommend it. There were a few times I wished it was faster, but the 6D does very well with that lens at higher isos if there is decent natural lighting inside.
Thanks, an interesting and important article.

Yes, I have been able to load RX100 III Raw Files into LR6, no problem on a Windows 8 PC.
And, thank you digit-up. A lot of people come here with legitimate questions, and others try to participate in an earnest way only to be maligned by a few jerks.
Every once in awhile I learn something from this site, but the nastiness on it as made me want to get out on more than one occasion.
I know the people on here whose opinion I respect. I don't comment very much unless I believe I have something to offer, but I do believe this would be a much better site if certain people would refrain from negative and belittling comments. I
