Thanks Dennis. Yeah, I'm all for leaving well enough alone, but I am a little nervous about the 16.10 upgrade. Do you have a
guess as to what might happen.
And now the computer will only boot via the GRUB loader. Which is fine with me (and it boots really quickly). But again it will only boot to 15.10, not to the two 16.04 kernels on there.
Anyway, for the sake of giving the 16.10 upgrade a better chance of succeeding, do you think I should change that
GRUB_DEFAULT=4
back to
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
?

On the Win10 side, the fixes were simple once I knew them.
The machine would not shutdown or restart, and required a power cycle. Turning off "hybrid shutdown" (intended for laptops in any case) fixed it.
The machine was also guaranteed to hang at some point no matter what I was doing (and even hung when I wasn't doing anything.) That turned out to be SSD related, and I had to turn off Windows write cache buffer flushing on that drive.
Once I made those fixes, Win10 worked perfectly. I'm up under it now. Took about 30 seconds to make the fixes, once I knew what they were.
