  1. Why wont Windows-10-64bit install?


    Hi, I'm now trying to install W10-64bit onto my current PC.

    PC's Build Info:

    Mobo: GIGABYTE / GA-Z87-HD3 (1.x)
    BIOS Ver: F7
    Graphics: onboard
    CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K S1150 3.40 GHz
    CPU Part No: SR14A
    Operating System: Currently W7-Pro-64-bit
    Memory: Corsair / 2 x 8GB
    Memory Part No: CML16GX3M2A1600C10
    Power Supply: 500

    I built the above PC a few years ago, and installed the W7 OS,
    and it has been working OK using that OS.

    Now I wish to upgrade the OS to W10, by doing a clean install, so...

    I removed the current W7 (2TB) HDD.
    I fitted a replacement (1TB) HDD. (which currently has my old data files on it)

    I booted from the W10 install disk.
    The install seemed to go OK, but after the install screen closed, instead of seeing any confirmation-message or the W10 Desktop,
    I got a light-blue-screen for the Cortana setup!

    **Q: Is this supposed to happen?

    Reluctantly, I started to complete this setup,
    but after a few minutes the screen went grey/blank,
    but the mouse pointer could still be seen,
    and the 'Cortana-voice' could still occasionally be heard, prompting me to complete the form,
    but of course I couldn't see the form.

    I tried the install again, but got the same outcome.

    I re-installed the original HDD with the W7 OS, and the PC now works OK again.

    So I contacted Gigabyte-Support who said:
    'Please download and update the latest F8 BIOS with QFlash Utility to see if it helps.'
    So it seems that they don't know why either!?
    But I installed the BIOS update.

    I tried again, and this time I got through the Cortana setup, to what looked like the desktop,
    but although I could see the choices when I clicked on its Start button, I couldn't seem to select anything obvious. (compared to W7: W10 seems a bit alien to me)
    I closed down the PC, and rebooted later, but this time I just got a black screen.

    I downloaded W10 again from the MS website, and made a new Install DVD, re-did the install but got basically the same original problem, where I couldn't complete the Cortana setup, but this time there was no Cortana-sound!

    I never had this type of problem before, so has anyone had this problem, and found a solution.

    Many thanks.

    :)

    Step 1

    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
