Hello community,
I have an Acer Aspire 7600U. It's a great machine, but apparently Acer has not created or updated the drivers required to fully upgrade it to Windows 10. Specifically, the NVIDIA GeForce display adapter crashes when the Windows 10 update is applied.
Based on what I've read so far, it seems that Acer has problems supporting the touch screen with the hardware in the 7600U under Windows 10, and has not released the drivers necessary to support the new OS.
That's fine. Disappointing, but fine.
The confusion, however, is that Windows 8.1, the most current version of the Windows OS that the 7600U *does* support, keeps throwing up dialog boxes telling me that my machine will run Windows 10, and wants me to upgrade.
I know I can't (I already tried once before, and I know that completely disabling the NVIDIA hardware will allow Windows 10 to install and run, but why would I want to run that way, especially when a future Windows 10 automatic update is almost certain to break it again).
How do I make Windows 8.1 realize that Acer does *not*, in fact, support installing Windows 10 on the Aspire 7600U at this time? While I'm hoping they'll eventually figure out what needs to be done to make this hardware work under Windows 10, I don't want Windows 10 trying to install itself in the meantime.
Any advice from Acer or the community would be welcomed.
Thanks!
