| 1414150 | 2016-01-08 03:01:00 | I want to ask can a socket 1155 motherboard be compatible with Windows 10? I currently using a Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H. I want to go back to an Asus P8Z77-M Pro. Is any of these compatible? | karbren (14078) | ||
| 1414151 | 2016-01-08 03:24:00 | Because I have installed a whole lot of updates back in late November I had inadvertedly installed windows 10. But since It hasn't fully loaded, I have had issues in that I had to do a motherboard change and you guessed it I am plagued with more. Kind of got most of it sorted but my main issue is the HDD I want to use which had my W 8.1 Pro keeps freezing. I spoke to a Microsoft tech online and went through a raft of possibilities but nothing resolved. It won't complete the full upgrade to W10 without freezing at different stages. The last one stopped at 86% but when it did the wind back to W8.1 it never came up with an error message. I want to know is this because the motherboard is incompatible with W10? I wiped my HDD, did a clean install with an ISO W8.1 I downloaded from Microsoft did the updates and then tried the upgrade with always the same result. I spoke to a tech friend who sometimes posts on here and suggested using another HDD and do a clean install of W8 Pro off the disk I have. Have tried that and did the upgrade. It stopped at 65% and I got the error message 0x1900101-0x4000D. Thus it wound back to W8 but it freezes now also. Any suggestions as to why this keeps happening? | karbren (14078) | ||
| 1414152 | 2016-01-08 03:47:00 | There are Windows 10 drivers for the ASUS you posted (www.asus.com) So it should be fine with Windows 10 There are Windows 10 drivers for the Gigabyte as well. (www.gigabyte.co.nz) I would download the ISO from here (www.microsoft.com) with the tool upgrade from it see if that works. If it does do a clean install from the ISO (use Rufus to extract it to a flash drive (http://rufus.akeo.ie/)) If either of those mobos depending on which one you use, if it doesnt support UEFI dont select it in Rufus, before you add the ISO If you use the Gigabyte, update the BIOS on it first. In case it's out of date |

| 1414153 | 2016-01-08 03:56:00 | Ok thanks. Can I ask what does Rufus do and I have tried to update the bios with no success. I want to go use the Asus because of the issues I have had with the Gigabyte motherboard. It came out of my sons PC but it has caused me so much frustration. Also to add I have had memory problems doing the upgrade but when I have checked some things it seems the memory is okay. Any suggestions/ | karbren (14078) | ||
| 1414154 | 2016-01-08 04:07:00 | You can use Rufus to extract ISO's to a flash drive. You'll end up with a bootable flash drive. It'll save you buying blank DVD's Is the ASUS mobo new? Or is that out of something else? |

| 1414155 | 2016-01-08 04:21:00 | The Asus will be new when and if I buy it. I just like the Asus as I am used to it. You may need to explain a little how to use the Rufus as I never heard of it let alone know anything about a flash drive and what it does | karbren (14078) | ||
| 1414156 | 2016-01-08 04:23:00 | Well if you get the ISO from the link I posted, and decide to try it, I'll show you how with Teamviewer You've never heard of a flash drive? They're either USB 2 or 3, and they're used for storage These are flash drives (www.pbtech.co.nz) |

| 1414157 | 2016-01-08 04:36:00 | HOW were you trying to install Win10?? Through windowsupdate? Or with a DVD or something? Looks like the error you posted, used to happen with preview versions |

| 1414158 | 2016-01-08 04:36:00 | I never heard of a USB termed like that more to the point I think. The trouble I will have with that is that fact my computer keeps freezing at the moment and I think I should buy the Asus so I know what will work to my knowledge. I will take you up on that offer of teamviewer it will be a matter of when I am ready. Duh I use the term memory stick. Not a good way to end my day. How safe is it to flash the bios/ | karbren (14078) | ||
| 1414159 | 2016-01-08 04:41:00 | It's easier to flash a BIOS on an ASUS than a Gigabyte. I've never had a Gigabyte system. I've got 3 ASUS systems here I put together. 2 Socket 775's and a Socket 1150 With an ASUS all you do is get the BIOS update extract it to a flash drive. Boot into the BIOS select EZ flash. Select the file. Wait for to finish. That's it It's even easier with a more recent mobo like the Socket 1150 or probably the 1151's. You can boot into the BIOS and load the BIOS update from the hard drive as well But with the ASUS you posted, it supports BIOS flashback, which means, even if the BIOS on it doesn't support the CPU you install, you can flash it without the CPU. All you need is the power supply. |
