[Elecraft] Windows Update and the K3 USB Audio

[john at kk9a.com]

I stuck with Windows XP until the end. I have also purchased computers  
with Windows 7 when 10 was available and they all work very well. I  
have updates set to notify so I can install them at my leisure as the  
loading and reboots always seem to come at in inconvenient time.  Can  
you imagine getting an update when you're running 200+ QSOs per hour  
in a contest. Also the Windows 7 updates to not appear to require  
software reloads like Windows 10 does with Writelog and maybe others  
or cause any sound card setting changes. Unfortunately Microsoft is  
ending support of Windows 7 on January 14, 2020.

YES! For exactly this reason, I've paid extra to buy computers with Win7
rather than Win10 for radio.
