I recently upgraded my pc and updated to the latest BI. Im mainly a linux guy but I like blue iris so much I maintain one windows machine for it. I used the guide here to pick out a good cpu and things have worked out nicely. Im sitting around 30% cpu when my old pc on win7 with bi4 was maxing...

I left google drive installed after I switched the BI folder to onedrive and google drive doesnt crash anymore. I guess its having problems with all the activity. One drive is working fine, they just dont give as much free space as google.
