I know I'm better off running multiple conversions in a single one-at-time queue. The dozen or more conversions I do every day will finish sooner than running several in parallel. They seem to be constrained by disk I/O rather than CPU or RAM. These are relatively small 'books', generally less than 100K English words, primarily DOCX to EPUB. But I don't watch the conversions, there's always something else to do whilst they're running, so that's a factor too

I have done at least 10 upgrades from 7/8 to Windows 10, and half a dozen fresh installs. The only occasions the display scale setting didn't default to 100% were on a couple of upgrades where the current system settings were already otherwise.
