Hello, I have trouble upgrading from Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit to Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

I am just asking if Windows 10 will run with my Mainboard or if there will be any Issues with it, especially the Marvell SATA Controller.

If you say my Mainboard is compatible, I will make a clean Install.

Can anyone confirm, that this Mainboard is okay with Windows 10 ?

The fact that the ASRock Z68 Extreme4 support page offers Windows 10 drivers leads me to believe your board should be able to run it.

peace

I made a Clean Install with Windows 10 Pro 64bit, but there is an Issue with my SSD. Win10 shows it as removable disk. The Crucial SSD is connected to the SATA3_0 White Connector. Is there a BIOS setting where I can disable HOT Plug Functionality ? Because I did not find such a setting.
Thanks

What Sata controller the port is connected to? Which BIOS/Sata controller driver version do you have?

Thanks, I already solved this Problem with installing the Intel Rapid Storage Driver.
