    Booting Windows 10 on iMac


    So I've been doing a lot of research and finally been able to boot my iMac into Windows 10. But when I choose my language and press INSTALL NOW it tells me it can't find drivers, and I've downloaded some from BootCamp and other sites and checked to see if they were the right ones. Whenever I scanned it never found them and even after searching and finding them manually, it says they don't work and I can't start it up in Windows because I can't get past the screen...please help I am so lost right now...

    :)

  2. Thunderbolt Displays using Windows 10 in Dual boot on iMac

    I have two thunderbolt displays connected to my iMac via Thunderbolt cables. They work great. When I installed windows 10 via dual boot on the iMac Windows will only recognize one of the monitors. I have installed all of the latest drivers. Any suggestions
    would be appreciated.

  3. 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

    windows 10 slow boot

    I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

    I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

    Looks to be similar to this: https://www.back2gaming.com/focus-story/ssd-optimization-for-windows-10-windows-8-and-8-1/


    In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
