    Don't you just love Windows sometimes when you're upgrading to a new driver -"windows has determined that you are already using the best driver" etc.

    No, I know best, I'm the Windows admin on this computer here with a masters degree in IT, and its my PC, and if it goes wrong, I'll use system restore

    First thing I do on a new install, show all files extensions and hidden system files

    As for Win 10, I've had a few problems upgrading two machines for Win 7, and one from Win 8, always fails after a while with some excuse about bad drivers etc, when you're running the latest, on older hardware (i.e Win 7) that MS should know well.

    A few hours later of Googling about upgrading an Intel Compute Stick from Win 8.1 to 10, I found on a forum (not Intels) that I needed to upgrade the BIOS and disable write caching on the SSD to get the upgrade to work.

    MS rant over

    Maybe you only have file extensions hidden. Just move it to the drive without renaming it.

    Working now. Must have been as I suspected that the GPS antenna was mounted too low and not getting signal therefore not adjusting to the 40km/h speed setting when travelling under that speed. Nothing to do with settings
    Still get radar antenna not connected warning however even though connected and get warnings!
    Strange that one!
