Re: Windows 10
I posted earlier (#182) about difficulties upgrading my Novatech laptop to Win10. I have upgraded a Fujitsu machine, and the main benefit is a considerable increase in speed of boot up and general running, so I was keen to do the Novatech. After numerous attempts resulting in a blank screen and the need to reload 7 from scratch, I have finally established that the BIOS of the Pegatron A15A motherboard is not compatible with Win10, which explains my problems. There is a way to update the BIOS, but it can't be done in Windows, as it is in use. It Involves burning a bootable USB drive with the new BIOS installed, and some complicated command line stuff, so I have decided to abandon the idea of upgrading this machine. If you make a mistake in any of the command line script, you can screw up the BIOS altogether, which then requires paying money to some Guru to fix it. The moral is that not all systems are compatible with Win 10, and the installation precheck done at the beginning of upgrade won't necessarily detect the incompatibility.Re: Windows 10
