Windows 10: Cannot Install Win10 on older system

So I have an older system that has a BIOS and not a UEFI. The mobo is an Asus P6T Deluxe v2 with an I7 920. Read at some places that they got Win10 installed on this board, but no clear guide on how they did it or if they ran in to any issues during install. Currently it has Win7 Pro installed.

I used Rufus along with the Win10 1903 image and all went fine. When I booted the Win7 system with the thumb in a USB slot I went to the BIOS and selected the USB to boot from. All I get is the installation where it shows the Microsoft flag and that's it. Normally I would see below it the dots that go in a circle and then the installation questions begin. But here just the flag. I left the system like this and came back 8 hours later and still like this. So digging around I saw a part about turning off the vt in the BIOS so I did that, but same thing. I tried different versions of Rufus and still same thing.

Coming here to see what else I can try or what I may have missed.

Thank you

:)

 

Now Win10 is out have you gone back to 8 or older?

Nope, slowly upgrading my fleet to Windows 10 as the time comes to reformat each machine.

Assuming you are talking about Mint 17 you list in your specs, that isn't newer, that's still older than Win10.
