    Booting Windows 10 from WWAN Port


    This is probably an odd question, but I’ll ask it anyways. I’d like to get your opinion, before I make a decision.


    My laptop has a empty WWAN port in it according to the hardware manual. It’s a pretty small space for a bigger M.2 drive, but it can probably fit a 2230 or 2240 drive.


    Before I run out and purchase an expensive drive, do you think that Windows 10 can boot from the wireless-WAN port/how that would be configured?

    I looked in the bios to select a boot device, and NVME0 is an option, but its hard to determine if that is the WWAN port or not:


    If you need it, here is the hardware manual: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t560_p50s_hmm_en_sp40k04930_02.pdf#page85 I’m looking at page 79/80.

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

    GPS problem: Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 + WWAN 5810e + Win10

    Hi,

    Since your Internal GPS on WWAN card is not working, I suggest that you try these troubleshooting steps:

    • Update the driver on device manager
    • Uninstall / Reinstall the device driver
    If none of the steps above worked, you have to contact the device manufacturer for further assistance. You can contact them through this

    link
    . Kindly note that you have to change the appropriate country located at the bottom right part of the page.

    Regards.

    Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
