Windows 10: I'm trying to install windows 10 onto a Lenovo B570 laptop from a win10 Home/Professional...

first problem was win10 would not install to a MBR and required me to convert, I converted within the installation successfully to GPT.

the installation now continues to almost the end with windows screen saying "This might take several minutes" dont turn off your pc.

but it wont go past this point, having waited several hours I turned pc off and tried again with the same result with a slight difference

sometimes windows wants me to convert to MBR and sometimes to GPT but whatever it always hangs around about the same place.

The hard drive is a new NTFS formatted drive old unit failed and unable to recover.

The installation DVD is a new Authorised disk

The memory stick I made from the authorised media ISO file.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Thomas

Windows 10 on Lenovo laptop

Lenovo B570 ONLY shows support up to Win 8.x ( 32 @ 64 Bit ).

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/...ps/lenovo-b570-notebook/downloads/driver-list

That being said, ...... it depends on if Windows 10 can install all the required Drivers to give you full functionality.

You would also require to purchase Win 10.

1. If i were to try this i would purchase another Suitable Hard Drive for the B570 so not to destroy the Original Windows Installation on the Present Hard Drive for this computer.

• That way in the event of a failure in installing Windows 10 you can always replace the Original Hard Drive with the Pre-Installed Original Operating System that you bought it with.

2. Then i would Download / Create a Windows 10 Installation Media ( ISO ) to test with before even purchasing a

copy of Windows 10.

Download Windows 10
