Since upgrading to Windows 10, 64 bit operation, I find that Audaicty 2.1.2 gives broken, staccato, recordings. Will Audacity 2.1.2 run effectively on a 64-bit system? Audacity runs fine on 64-bit systems. A common problem on computers that have upgraded to Windows 10 is that the sound card drivers...

Whatever gave you that idea? I'd guess it's the thousands of articles on the Internet that say that defragmenting is not required (and not desirable) on SSDs, which is only partly true, but abundant nevertheless. SSD's can be a little different, depending on design of the controller, but they suffe...
