It currently runs Win 7 64 ultimate, but in Jan 2020, no more Win 7 updates. So can the motherboard run Win 10 pro? Your machine is better than a couple I have Windows 10 running on, so I would say "yes". What it won't run on, is the vast majority of Pentium 4 machines. There is supposed to be a model of Pentium 4 near the very end of the production run, that will work, but nobody has ever made a claim to have done it using one of those. There are occasionally a couple Intel products that don't work. One contains a third-party GPU, which screws up detection and acceptance (the third-party apparently doesn't provide driver updates). Another, the CPUID instruction is mis-coded. The instruction set does actually support Windows 10, but due to the error in CPUID, the Windows 10 installer refuses to install. Other than that, your P67 is mainstream enough, you're not likely to trigger one of those conditions. In the old days, there was an Upgrade Advisor you could use in advance, to determine whether it was worthwhile wasting your time on upgrades. Now, that's part of the installer image. The closest thing to an Upgrade Advisor, might be to run the one for Windows 8.1, because the Windows 10 acceptance criteria are similar to Windows 8.1. You would only use such an approach, if you were on Hughes Satellite, and had only a 2GB download cap per month. You need a higher cap than that, to make Windows 10 a practical choice. You need a decent enough Internet connection, so that downloading a 4GB+ DVD on a single day, won't put you into "go-slow" mode on the Internet connection. People on dialup-networking, need not apply. The machine would waste so much of your time while it updates, you'd never get to use it. Paul Cheers, I am fortunate enough to have cable internet (100 Mbit) connection. I have already downloaded all the drivers and Win 10 pro 1903. I still think I can use my Win 7 ultimate COA? I did one about two weeks ago, and it still worked. Using a Win7 Refurbisher COA. Activated just fine. The Refurbisher was Pro, the Win10 was Pro. Paul Cheers Paul. I want to get my legitimate COA activated before the end of the year. I used my windows 8.0 keys to activate 2 bare metal installs of Win 10 1903 and it went without a hitch. Rene Now, I think I have enough info. Thanks. |

So can the motherboard run Win 10 pro? I have the ASUS P7P55D-E LX with a Core i5 760 (1st gen!) running Win 10 Pro 1903 just fine. I think that predates your board. There is a hitch, though. Long story short, on that board, the issued VIA sound drivers are broken. You may have the same old VIA sound chipset on that board. You will still have sound, though. It doesn't totally break sound playback. *** Longer story, bug description, and workaround follows in case you have the VIA problem: The driver issue, if you run into it, is speakers not automatically shutting down when the headphone jack is plugged in. You have to go into the sound panel and disable the speakers manually. This is really annoying to do every time you plug in headphones. If you don't use headphones, it is no problem at all. It is a known issue that came with the Win 10 1024 release drivers for the VIA chipset. IOW, from day one. The bug is never getting fixed, because the year 2006 VIA drivers are still the latest from Microsoft. Everything was going fine on my machine until 1803 insisted on replacing my working Win 8.1 drivers with the buggy set on a feature update. Then I couldn't find the old drivers to roll back. Oops. You can get around it on current Win 10 installs by installing the generic "High Definition Audio Device" drivers instead of the faulty VIA driver. You can do this by opening Device Manager, clicking "update driver" in its Device Manager properties page, telling it you want to select the driver, and then to select the driver from what's already on the machine, not "have disk." The driver is right there, and it works, and Microsoft is still serving up garbage. Every time there's a feature update, you will need to change back the drivers. The installer, since 1803, will insist on the broken VIA driver. In fact, I just went in and fixed the problem machine (problem software really) while typing this, since I saw it had updated to 1903. Sure enough, the headphone jack properly silencing the speakers was broke again until I replaced the driver with the generic High Definition Audio. So there's that. I hope you have the newer Realtek chipset, because VIA's drivers are a sad joke on Windows 10. -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten |
