| I'm really annoyed, I have a custom build PC with an ASROCK B75M R2.0 motherboard. I've just spent 1.5 days trying several attempts to upgrade the PC to Windows 10 Build 10586, but with a variety of failure messages. Just had an online chat session with a Microsoft Tech and the end result was the Tech informed me my motherboard is not compatible with Windows 10. As "mother" is hardly likely to agree to a new desktop, I guess I'm stuck with Win 7 for the life of the PC. |

Well first of you should expect problems with BETA software. Never mind BETA software from Microsoft. And then, a BETA operating system from Microsoft. C'mon. Really? Your B75 is indeed supported by Windows 10, be it x86 or x64. < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

You can try using the drivers for the http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75M-DGS%20R2.0/?cat=Download" rel="nofollow - B75M-DGS R2.0 , it uses the same chipset and most likely all the same controllers as your board. The drivers are provided by their respective component vendors so they will work with your board. I also do not see any BIOS updates for the board I linked to that add support for windows 10 so it is unlikely that a BIOS update will be needed for your board to support windows 10. Generally when you cannot find drivers for a particular board it is a good idea to look at other boards on the same chipset (B75 in this case) and see if any of them have the drivers you need. The only differentiating factor between different boards on the same chipset is utility, all the core components will be the same but some may add an additional or different controller for LAN, SATA RAID or other such features. As your board is a fairly straight forward mATX offering you shouldn't encounter any issues with the drivers I linked above. I would not trust anything MS tech support tells you regarding hardware, they are well known to be impatient and intolerant. As soon as any issue becomes irksome they tend to blame the hardware and redirect you to the manufacturer's support page. This attitude is all too common with software vendors. Don't get me wrong, MS support isn't bad, they just like to pass the buck. http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Win10/" rel="nofollow - Here is the ASRock Windows 10 mini site, it lists all the boards that have had Windows 10 drivers added. If you can't find a driver for your board on the page I linked above then look through here and check other B75 board's drivers.

That is the same motherboard I was comparing to Xaltar. Took a couple of clicks on others but then that one showed 10. @ OP A B75 is a B75. Just like an ALC662 is and ALC662. Same with Realtek 8111E. Same with ASM1061. (edited out the following: Looks like the ASMedia driver is the one you'll not need.) Get the Win10 ASM1061 driver from the http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75%20Pro3-M/?cat=Download" rel="nofollow - B75 Pro3-M Win10 download page Intel ME and INF also req'd. Now would be a good time to update your BIOS to 1.6 too if not there now. Edited Post < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

| So, how do I go about updating my BIOS ? Sounds like one of those processes that bricks your device if it goes wrong ! |

Anything labeled Preview Build is indeed BETA software. Slow Ring, Fast Ring, TH2. Not even declaring Final Build yet! Nothing I see resembling a product I can go to a store and purchase. BETA. If you don't know how to update your BIOS, either read up on how to, or stay away from it altogether. Doing something haphazard while flashing is exponentially more hazardous than installing BETA OS and complaining while doing so. There are no re-do's if you hose your BIOS. One and done. < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

| Hey, thanks very much to you gurus who took the time to reply to my message. I may just leave it until I buy a new desktop with Win10 installed. I do have another 2 Asus laptops I have upgraded to Win10 so I'll use those to play with Win10. |

Why not simply install the retail Windows 10? < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

| This IS effectively the retail version of Windows 10, it is the FREE upgrade for Win 7 & 8 users, obtained either by download or ISO using Microsoft's MediaCreationTool. |

Huh .? Links please that state this 10586 Preview IS what Microsoft is providing for updating Win7 and 8. Not a chance. "Effectively' doesn't work with me. MS would be "Effectively' shooting themselves in providing this BETA 10586 to its unsuspecting user base of millions/billions. Download the proper Free Windows x.x to Windows 10 Update from the below link and "Effectively" resolve yours and mines problem.: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I'm outta here. Something hinky ........ < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

| Hah, I couldn't leave it alone eh ? I've now managed to upgrade the BIOS to v1.60, so we'll have another go at the Win10 upgrade off the ISO diskimage. |

Oh you don't get off that easy! :) Burn the ISO onto a disk and retry. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3f10oy/we_couldnt_install_windows_10/ It seems that is generated by having USB devices plugged in. < id="kpm_plugin" ="application/x-KPMPlugin">

| The upgrade attempts ARE from a DVD burned with the ISO image, all USB devices are disconnected, Lan cable is unplugged, Antivirus & Antimalware programs disbled. |

I have an A780 Display Port mobo. Can you tell me if there's a BIOS update I can use to make Win10 install? Getting errors, but Win 7 installed just fine. http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A780FullDisplayPort/?cat=Download&os=BIOS

Should have posted earlier - all is well now, the Windows 10 upgrade eventually went through successfully and while I did have problems for a short while with it BSODing, I think that as time went on, this happened less and less until now it's pretty stable. Maybe drivers etc became available over time for the issues that were plaguing me originally. Who knows ? Maybe Windows sensed that I was pretty p***ed with it

As you can see, the last BIOS update for your board, which is an actual BIOS firmware, not the UEFI firmware type used for a while now, is from 2010. No Beta BIOS versions exist either. But if you read this thread carefully, you'd see that it was not a BIOS/UEFI update that helped those with installation problems with Windows 10, it was later versions of Windows 10. They are using different "builds", which are newer, slightly different versions of Windows 10 that were released since the original official first release version. The standard build version now is 10586. This later build seems more compatible with older hardware. You won't see any BIOS or UEFI updates with the description "add Windows 10 compatibility". That is, the built in drivers are compatible with more types of hardware. That is most likely what is causing the errors you get, there isn't a driver that is compatible. There's a big difference between Win 7 and Win 10, which is why Win 7 work but Win 10 does not. At some point, older hardware is left behind. But your board's chipset and other hardware may not be compatible with Windows 10, even with the latest build. What are you using for the installation, a Win 10 disk you purchased, or an ISO installation image that you can create with the Windows 10 media creation tool. You can find that in the link below, as well as other information about installing Win 10: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/" rel="nofollow - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/ ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
