    Any help much appreciated. I've tried safe mode and clean boot but the problems remain.
    Then, go to the ASUS Help page for your Mobo and read through the Win10 items -- maybe something there will help: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8P67/HelpDesk/

    Unfortunately, those are generic questions that aren't directly related to my mobo (or even Windows 10). Strangely, as they've told me the mobo isn't compatible with Win10, why do they even have those post Win10 upgrade FAQs on there?

    When you did the clean install, did you disconnect your raid drives and just leave the SSD to install on?

    Jim
    Yes, disconnected all other drives.

    Because they have been so much help so far I have yet to upgrade but this is the kind of stuff that worries me.
    May I ask did your PC pass the compatibility test?

    thanks
    Yes, the upgrade logo came up on Win 8.1 and Microsoft list the mobo as compatible.

    p.s. I've just confirmed something that I thought I might be imagining. I've just gone to a website in Internet Explorer that I know I haven't been to since the clean install. The website had my username and password stored.
    How is this so? If I'm logged in with a Microsoft account, do they store this stuff remotely?
    Was this not a "clean" install at all?

    I suppose I just found the answer to my own question....

    "Your account info is encrypted and stored on your PC – it isn't shared between user accounts and other apps on the PC can't read the passwords. But, if you sign in to a different PC with your Microsoft account, you'll be able to sign in to sites with your saved account info in Internet Explorer because this info is roamed across devices."

    The Onedrive Sync feature can backup and sync your IE favorites and website logon inf. On a clean install it Syncs it back in if your using a Microsoft Account. You can Sync your lock screen picture, theme, desktop background etc. It's all in the Onedrive Sync settings. For what it's worth, I have Windows 10 running on an ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 and an M4N68T-M V2. Both are old motherboards with no Windows 10 drivers listed for download from ASUS. Both work just fine with the default Windows drivers. The Video and Sound drivers get installed via Windows update on the first log in. I'm also running Windows 10 on my ASUS K75DE laptop, same deal, work just fine with the stock drivers. It's not that old but last time I checked there were no Windows 10 drivers available for it from ASUS. All three of these devices were upgraded to Windows 10 Pro via the free upgrade. I have since done clean installs on the M2N68 and my laptop. No problems with that either. Wish I had more to offer in the way of help. Will keep watching this thread though.

    Prepare your drive for the clean install. Wipe the drive, delete all partions, and reformat your drive. If you updated your original OS to win 10 no serial required for clean install. Hope this isn't a troll thread. Strange outcome here. Just sayin.

    Alphanumeric,
    Thanks. It's encouraging to know that your Asus products work, despite no official support.
    Strangely, despite Windows not downloading any product updates, Windows Update is now only taking a few seconds, rather than twenty minutes - I'll see if it lasts.
    If nobody can suggest anything radical that's going to solve my problems, then perhaps I'll try another clean install.
    I'll update with how it goes....

    You could try doing a Reset first. Reset Windows 10
