Windows 10: Intel Atom PC, doesn't seem to support Anniversary Update

Hi All

Intel Atom PC, doesn't seem to support Anniversary update, probably due to it's specs, and shared video memory, right now it's 1.6ghz Single Core Atom Processor, 2gbs of ram, minus 512mb for video, so really 1.75gbs Windows sees, well problem now getting Anniversary in on it lol, my options are try again? try to restore to 7, but flash drive with 7 ISO on it won't read lol, no CD/DVD Drive, is there a way to make a new Windows 7 usb drive, from Windows 10 Pro 64bit system?

:)

 

I cannot upgrade to Windows 10

Its possible your Intel Atom device is one of the unlucky ones. You might want to try upgrading to Windows 10 1607 which supports older devices. Microsoft plans to continue supporting it with updates until January 2023:

Upgrade to Windows 10 Fall Creators fails and cannot move to 1709 there after

I did say its not a supported processor, I don't even know how 1703 got installed in the first place:

Download ISO Windows 7
and Burn it. .. using Rufus. Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way on a flash drive

 

ohhh thanks!!, will get that done

 

I'm confused. Are you trying to update Win 10 1511 (released) to 1607 (Anniversary Update)?

If so, you don't need a USB drive. Get the latest Win 10 .ISO using the Media Creation Tool (or by direct download, if available). Mount the .ISO from within Win 10, and run the upgrade from that.

 

well Anniversary on that little Atom PC, I don't know if it would run it though lol, memory is only 2gb, 1.75 with video memory, I suppose I could give it a shot and see what happens, do have the ISO now

 

If it'll run 1511, it'll run 1607.

I'm still confused as to what your current OS is.

 

Current OS on that Little Intel Atom is version 1511 on that model, 1607 on the other 2 Desktops

 

Then it should work. Any error message?

Make sure you are not trying to install x64 version.

 

It should run ok, maybe a bit slow. When I did the anniversary update on my Atom it took an extra 3 reboots on my behalf as the update seemed to loose itself. Other than running a bit slow, works just fine. I use it to control my weather station so only 1 app running.

 

Yeah gonna work on it shortly here, and should be fine I think, maybe a bit slow, but only will be used for maybe a casual game, or email checking at times lol, nothing major lol

 

I have an use an atom cpu Acer Switch 10 mini laptop ,and there is no sign of a update to the latest win10 ,and if it never shows for me to download it ,I will never install it, this thing is slow enough now *Wink

 

Slow as can be, then again i'm used to my 8 Core , and 8gbs of ram system lol, Major change even doing a little bit on that machine up there, but if I can get the update in, will, but so far waiting for Media Creation tool to finish downloading lol, even wireless N 5ghz, doesn't really speed it up much lol

 

It should run fine. I just upgraded a computer that has a Pentium N3700 and 2 GM of memory. Even had a spinner HDD and it runs fairly well.
