I solo mine altcoins and i only have one gtx970 the coins i have succesfully mined are Phoenix, Halcyon, Orbitz, UFO, guncoin hopes this helps if u need any help setting up to try it let me know if i can help in any way and ill try to get u running.solo mining is great there is nothing like finding your first block and seeing that little pic on your wallet makes pool mining seen so bunk but at the same time can also be a complete waste of time

I'm trying to do exactly what you've done, solo mine several altcoins.  I don't expect it to be highly profitable but it looks like fun.  

I have some really basic questions:

Is there one piece of software that mines all or many of these coins?
Or does each coin have it's own specific software to use for mining?

From reading I'm getting the impression that the same software (miner) can mine different coins, and I just use different ports.

If that's so, what miner do you use?  I'm on Windows 10 but I can change the OS if it's better.

If you could generally walk me through the process or point me to a site that explains it, I'd appreciate it.
