Re: [Openvpn-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Clarify which Windows versions require which TUN/TAP driver
I have not actually tested tap-windows (NDIS 5) on Windows 10, but I believe NDIS 5 support was removed from Windows 10 a while back. If NDIS 5 drivers still work for Windows 10 then I can definitely reword this part.

we use ndis5 on windows 10.
If the rumours I've heard are right, NDIS5 support will disappear in some Windows updates. The very first rumours was that it would disappear in Win 8.2 (whatever that version ended up as), but Microsoft might have delayed the deprecation a bit longer.
On a more general note, please use the NDIS6 (tap6) driver instead, as that is what gets most of the attention these days and it does need far more testing. We really do want the old NDIS5 drive to die. My opinion is that once OpenVPN 2.4 will be released, we should stop shipping the NDIS5 driver when git master begins to target for
OpenVPN 2.5.

Re: [Openvpn-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Clarify which Windows versions require which TUN/TAP driver
we still use NDIS5, however we observe some issues with Windows 10. sometimes (currently just 3 users) see messages regarding "tap adapter not ready" in logs. And issue is resolved by upgrading to NDIS6.
it is not clear evidence that NDIS5 does not work well on Win10 (it works for 800 users and does not work for 3 of them), but it is definetly a sign to start upgrading.

A colleague of mine accidently used an I001 installer last week on W10, and it still worked. No idea whether it has funny consequences, so maybe word this as "tap6 is recommended for anything later than win7" or so.
