    After Windows 10 update, network driver missing

    Abdul - I have a couple of follow-up questions, before I run this update for the third time (I had to restore the system from backup again) - you mention that the network driver may be incompatible with Windows 10. It was running under Windows 10 before
    the 1511 update.... how could it be incompatible with Windows 10?

    The latest time I ran the update, the error message was that registry entries were missing. Is reinstalling the driver (assuming I can find the driver to install) going to fix that? Part of the problem is that I can't download anything when the system gets
    in this state, so I'm not sure how to get installable drivers of the right vintage...

    -regards- Bill

  3. Music won't play on Windows 10

    I am going through the process of downloading in compatibility mode but Windows 10 is not an option... I have uninstalled drivers, reinstalled, and updated drivers, uninstalled iTunes and and reinstalled with the latest version, tried the trouble shooting,
    and now trying to download in compatibility mode, but there is no option for Windows 10. To clarify, anything online like YouTube, pandora, etc. works perfectly, but iTunes (the only media player I really use) will not play any music and will not play videos.

    I went into admin mode and made some changes that were given to me to fix the problem of nothing being able to update and that didn't work either

    Can't download drivers, update anything, reinstall Windows 10

    When you first turn on the computer, there will be a key to press - it might be ESC, DEL, F2... that will allow you to enter either BIOS setup or a boot override menu. That is where you would select the option to boot from a USB flash drive. That happens before Windows even begins to load.

    On page 66 of your user's manual it states that it is the F12 key to repeated press immediately after the power on button.

    The USB pops up on the selection screen in the boot manager but when I select it the screen goes black for a sec and then takes me straight back to the selection screen boot manager no error codes

    What did you use to make the Windows 10 USB flash drive? If you used Rufus, it is likely the USB flash drive is formatted as NTFS, and needs to be FAT32.
