I did not encounter the two-step install. I installed 64-bit Windows 10
from a DVD onto bare metal. Then I installed TSM Client V7.1.3 which was
only a one-step process. It appears to work, but I'm nervous about using
it in production until I hear from IBM. I assume it will have the same
restrictions as noted for Windows 8.1.
