CUDA - "Compute Unified Device Architecture"

painful journey so far:
Monday:
CUDA 7.5 not working on VS2015 Community edition

Tuesday
CUDA 7.5 not working on VS2013 Community edition

ISO install failed for VS 2013 Ultimate Edition 

(mounted ISO file as a virtual drive and tried to install over the virtual drive)

Stack overflow reports Windows 10 should be possible

NVidia/CUDA download reports compatibility with Windows 10.

Web install finally worked for VS Ultimate (4+ hours uninstall/install !)

Wed
Downloaded "File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility" to verify downloaded

CUDA 7.5 not installing properly under windows 10
custom install may have worked
Need to test CUDA capabilies in VS

NVidia CUDA 'classes' /training.

I noticed nothing was compiling in VS2013
as each project was looking for a non-existant v140 compiler left over from the V2015 install

this has been remedied by setting the project compiler manually
for each project

DX samples files are compiling on VS2013 again.
