 Try posting your question to "alt.comp.os.windows-10".

 Despite the inevitable troll postings endemic to every news group, there 
are plenty of helpful contributors who seem to go out of their way to be 
helpful. One of the better ones, who goes by the name of 
paul<nospam@needed.com>, often provides very comprehensive and helpful 
follow ups despite being no fan of Microsoft (and therefore, no fool 
imho).
