Hello, thanks guys, i don't know, i got Windows 10 installed onto this machine anyway through the USB2 slot. It didn't recognise the Windows 10 USB installation stick when i had it plugged into the USB3 slots. You are correct about the cd working in Windows, i installed all the drivers from the cd after i installed Windows 10 but i think there was an option to put in the driver cd from the UEFI screen which seemed a good idea to me because the machine wasn't recognising the Windows 10 USB stick. I have never used a UEFI board before. So anyway all is well, thanks a million!!!

The driver disk that comes with the motherboard?

If so the only thing from that you need to install is the ASRock Shop app. Once you run that you can update all your drivers with it.

The Support CD, for it to "run' , is Windows only. After the OS install.

Hello,

Windows 10 does not need a patch routine.

Win10 (1607) ISO with the tool Rufus on USB stick in the UEFI Mode.

USB stick under LAN port and then PowerOn, then press F11 to select Boot = UEFI.

Hello, thanks for your help, i really appreciate it. The good news is that i discovered that i have a USB2 head on the motherboard so i changed the Windows 10 USB stick to that and i can install Windows 10 through that, i have tried and it does start to install. I quit the installation because i wanted to do some partition work on the hard drive first. It failed to recognise the Windows 10 USB stick when i plugged it into a USB3 slot. So i think the patch would be necessary if i didn't have a USB2 slot. I am using an old XP pc case and it has two USB2 slots on the front panel. Thank heavens for old technology!!! In order to make that "patch" i would need a Windows 7 pc which i don't have! What is bugging me is that the cd that came in the box was rejected! I don't know if it will install after i install Windows 10 this evening, i will let you know. Again thanks a million for your help.

Ok man. I owe you an apology. It's been a long week here. I'm terribly sorry.

10 does not need the patcher.

Simply use the bootable installation media of 10 you have.

Most likely the Support CD is. But you still need to patch the OS install media first and get your OS loaded/installed.

You need to follow the links directions to use that patch to create your USB installation media. It patches it so that the usb works, as w/o it there are no usb drivers loaded.

Thanks for your reply. On the MB it says Z170 pro4 and on the BIOS it says P 3.00. No i didn't patch the ISO because i am not really sure how to make the ISO and patch it, i have already downloaded all the drivers from the MB support page. I also just downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft but it is only about 3 GB compared to over 6GB on the USB stick. Just as a matter of interest is the cd the correct one?
