Hi
I had Windows 7 professional 64-bit
Never had a major problem
I downloaded and installed Windows 10
I was having a major problem
My USB ports on the back of the case would not work be recognized until I rebooted. Then they worked fine. The ones in the front worked ok. It was a pain to have to reboot every time I started the cpu.
My call to Microsoft was no help. After a wait of about 1 hour, they, in a language that was hard to understand, had me download a bunch of drivers from the C: prompt
When that didn’t work, I lost the connection
After a lot of swearing and a couple of beers, I finally went to a computer repair shop that had many recommendations and satisfied customers
After about a week, and their $80 diagnostic charge, they found that my motherboard does not support Windows10 and they couldn’t find any new drivers that would help
I accepted their offer to reload Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and reinstall Microsoft Office 2010, at no charge!
I found a web site that shows which ASUS motherboards are compatible
http://www.asus.com/microsite/mb/Windows_10/
mine isn’t listed
Question: I don’t want to install a new motherboard
Do I have any other options.
I’d rather not do a “trial” and find that I have to again reinstall Windows 7
Disktop Package ...not a brand name
