Windows 10: WIndows 10 and 11 on Gateway DX4870-ub21P

I saw a closed question from ROCKET265 asking about Windows 10 compatibility with the Gateway DX4870. The Gateway Site only goes up to Windows 8, but I had a DX4870 that I'm no longer using. I tried installing Windows 10, and it worked just fine. In fact, I'm now thinking of adding another 8G of RAM bringing it to its max of 16G, and replacing my 1G hard drive with a new SSD of the same size they're so inexpensive now. Does anyone else have any experience to convince me not to spend the roughly $140 for the upgrade? Does anyone know if the PC will support Windows 11? There is plenty

BIOS Upgrate for Gateway DX4870


I am trying to help my sister upgrade a Gateway DX4870 from windows 8 to windows 10. I found a BIOS upgrade at
Drivers & Downloads

labeled Gateway BIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades) P11.B1 2014/04/03

I am not sure what this upgrade does and whether the update should be installed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Try to find out what the upgrade entails. If it is a relatively insignificant update, you may not want to bother with it as BIOS Flashing must be done properly or it could result in a catastrophe.

 

Creators update freezes at 88%

Thanks so much for the tip. I have a Gateway DX4870-UB21P. I had tried the install of the creators update and it failed several times. I removed the wireless network card and the update installed without issue.
