TLDR: Windows 10 contains a bug since months that result in non booting systems and installers when VT-d is enabled in BIOS. So MBR for a simple BIOS should be enough and I can't understand why it's not working. Flashing Windows 8.1 圆4 ISO image from MS with MBR for BIOSĪccording to the documentation of m7720 we don't have any UEFI here.Booting Ubuntu installer from the stick: Works, but sadly I need Win10 for some games.Also on a non OEM 1366 board (same socket) I can boot and install Win10 easily.Use the same USB stick on a newer HP notebook: The Win10 installer starts without any issues.Installing Windows 8.1 with latest updates and upgrade to Win10.Put the SSD in another pc for installing Win10 and put it back afterwards.Checking Fix for older BIOS in the extended RUFUS options shows the window logo after booting (instead of black screen) but now it hangs there.Searching in the BIOS for settings that could affect the boot behavior.Changing the current boot order temporarily (F12) and permanently using BIOS (ENTF).Rufus with different options (FAT32, NTFS, UEFI, BIOS).The used ISO file was generated using Microsofts Media Creation Tool. Nothing happens, even not after waiting for a longer time. But when booting the Win10 iso, I only get a black screen with blinking cursor.
Having an about 10 year old i7 machine, I want to re-install Windows 10 Pro over the existing Win10 Education installation using a USB stick.
