Hi,

A couple of follow-up questions from a fellow tap-windows6 builder:

- Is you Windows 10 system a clean install (not upgraded from 7/8)?
- Is secure boot turned on?
- Is your Windows 10 64-bit?

If the answer to all of these is "yes" then I think we're pretty safe as
far as the signature is concerned.
