The information in that link does not say Windows 10 because Audacity
2.1.2 does not officially support Windows 10 (essentially because if just
one audio device or subdevice is incompatible with Windows 10, then
2.1.2 sees no audio devices at all).

That problem will be fixed for 2.1.3 when released, and the FAQ concerned
in the 2.1.3 Manual will refer to Windows 10 too.
