Not really a big surprise. Do the audio and graphics drivers still work on Windows 10?

Re: **GUIDE** Install Windows 8 on the Acer C720

I don't have test the audio driver because there are no problem with 7 and 8 but Still black screen with the graphics driver. I don't have success to resolve the problem with 8 so i don't have tried with windows 10. May graphics driver works only on seven?

I don't know why, but if I plug any USB keyboard or mouse in when using Windows 10 they work fine until the setup window appears. If I move the mouse in circles and wait for the dialog to come up the mouse dissapears once it pops up, then it acts like nothing's plugged in.

Make sure the chromebook is plugged in and USB will work at the setup.

Thanks, working fine now. Just gotta save up for an SSD upgrade. Unless I want 1GB of space to work with after I install.

How do I use teamviewer to overcome the black screen in win8 after updating the graphics driver?

Re: **GUIDE** Install Windows 8 on the Acer C720

Any new developments on this guys, were so close, just need to work out the drivers. Cant using the linux ones be possible in windows? Ive tried the Hp stream 11 laptop and N2840 proccessor is too underpowered to run windows. I think the 2955u would be more suited to the task

Hi, to everybody. I´ve just registered to share mi experience and keep alive this trhead.

 

I consider it very important to keep looking for the necessary solutions to run Windows without any issues (I'am sure that we'll accept using windows with trackpad issue). So, this is my experience.

 

I've installed windows 7, windows 8.1 and build 9841 of W10 Tech Preview. Every versions have the same behavior.

Finally, I keep 8.1 installed for stability and better compatibility with modern hardware.

 

  • USB ports works only in AC input during installation and after installing updates (I'm using MS all-in-one media keyboard). The rest of time usb ports seems to work properly.
  • I fixed the audio issue using DriverPack Solution (thx for posting here) and many other issues which can't cause many user experience changes. The only driver that i can't install is related to CHIPSET. You don't have to install Intel HD   Driver (it causes black screen again).
  • If you install Intel HD Grapichs from Intel web utility, you could check that laptop can't recognize our screen and the only video output option is HDMI (I saw it with teamviewer, my TV don't show any image with HDMI cable). The adjust resolution doesn't recovery the screen.
  • The following components are shown with yellow triangle in 'Control panel - Device manager':

         System devices - Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework PCH Participant Driver

         Other devices - DMA System driver

         Other devices - PCI Device

         Other devices - PCI Device

 

This is all I can share at this moment. Please don't leave this trhead. We can get it!

Stay in touch.

 

Bem Vindos
