Thanks for all responses so far. Really good to hear there is a solution out there and a good number of you are connecting just fine. In terms of the request to add more details of the problem: the problem is that, immediately following my very recent W10 upgrade (it worked fine in W7), the AuraHD isn't recognised by the PC at all when I connect it via USB cable, and by that I mean not in Windows Explorer or device manager, or system tray, not audio signal of connecting, etc. I've tried USB2 and 3 ports.

My W10 Pro upgrade was only about a week ago and I've ran updates from microsoft's website so my W10 install should be all up to date. It's version 1607 (which is the Anniversary one I believe from other forum questions), build 14393.693, so this logically should have the fix that originally occurred after the Anniversary version was introduced. In fact Microsoft lsit it as the up to date recommeded release here:

The Kobo is running the latest firmware version 3.19.5761.

Thanks for the partitioning workaround idea Jackie. I'll do that if nobody comes up with a simpler solution in the meantime! It's ahead of my virtual machine idea at the moment!
