    hello dubjedi sorry if I intrude but I have the same PC and I can not absolutely install WIN 10. I tried in every way but nothing to do, maybe because my cpu does not support NX. Currently I have installed win 7 with 4 Gb of RAM. I would be really grateful if you could help me. Thanks

    Hi, I’d love to know how you got to upgrade to 4gb RAM as I’ve tried with no success and still on 2GB. Maybe you could tell me the name of the memory modules you have.

    I’ve been only able to install Windows 10 as far as 1803 version. I get a blue screen on the upgrade to  any later version, including the latest 2004 which I tried a few days ago. I believe the display driver is not supported in the later versions and causing it to crash. I have posted a question on that in this forum. Unfortunately 1803 is no longer supported.

    One thing I know which does prevent Win 10 upgrades is if you have 3rd party antivirus software installed, like Avast etc. You could try deleting all 3rd party antivirus software, rebooting, and attempting an upgrade.

     I only use my PC for a couple of things and will limp along on 1803 and 2GB, but obviously would love to get to 2004 on 4gb because it’s still a great desktop replacement.

    Hope that helps.

    hello dubjediI will let you know which brand and type of RAM I have installed on my 9810 which, among other things, I have never had ram problems. Do you have the same type of module on both slots?Scrivi il tuo commento

    I think it's very likely that it is a driver error. It is often the video card, or will you also have the TV card installed ??

    Thanks marbrodyster. Hope you have luck with Windows 10 but as I said earlier, you may not be able to get passed ver 1803 as I couldn’t.

    Hi doubjedi
    it is very likely that my problem is the BIOS version 1.21. Where could you find your version 2.04?
    could you send me a link where i can download it?
    Thanks

    I’ve no idea, that’s the version that came with mine, I never updated the BIOS.

    I'vealso had troubles over 2GB when running on WindowsXP.

    Now I run on Windows 7-64 Ultimate with 4GB (usable 3GB)

    I'bought a Crucial 2 channel kit choosen from their selector.

    I installed W7 from the USBkey into 500GB SSD (drive1) and after setup the system added the 2nd bank of memory (just because due to perevious issues I forgot to add prior to W7 installation). I dont know if the sequence matters.
