    Worked... Once So Far


    Hey guys...

    Finally got Win10/10162 to install on my NETBOOK/ATOM. Strangest part was... ran right on thru in about 45-50 minutes!??? Going to start all over again tomorrow... run it 2-3 times... just to make sure I'm not dreaming or been drinking or something!!

    I did go back to the PREVIEW website and RE-DOWNLOADED 10162 (both x86 & x64)... burned a NEW DVD (x86 only right now)... Hope this wasn't a fluke... which is why I'm going to RE-do tomorrow a few times. Glad "something" broke my logjam... On Monday... have to bring Win10 to brief some neighbors on Monday so they will have SOME idea for 29th.


    Thanks to all who gave me... ANSWERs, IDEAs and, more important, gave me incentive to continue on!!
    Glad I found this forum and "found" some great guys willing to listen to my little woes!!

    Thanks for the update Steve, glad you got past the bottleneck ... whatever was causing it.

    Every once in a while it turns out to be bad install media - that's usually down the list of possible reasons, but it does happen.

    I read your posts again and it seems as though the hard stop might work for the AMD machine, but let it think for Just a moment... before stopping the machine, 20 -30 mins should be more than enough time. You could wait longer - that's your call.

    I'd just go ahead with the 64 bit install, why install Win10 twice? ... er... thrice

    Good luck and forge ahead!

    FYI Update... on Netbook/Atom


    Hey all...

    Installed 64bit (N450 is 64; N270 only 32)... only took like 45 min... so, two in a row. However, 64bit is WAY slower than (yesterday's) 32bit... so, once I finish here, I'm going back to 32-bit version.

    Expecting a 2gb stick in mail next week... only 1gb RAM right now... so may try 64-bit then.

    Regardless... 10162 (32/64) are working as I expected from get-go.

    As SLARTY last said... I'm leaning towards a bad ISO burn... but I also re-downloaded the ISOs... had to be one or the other.

    I need the AMD to have 8.1 tomorrow (and Netbook w/Win10)... and, maybe around Tue/Wed I'll go back to the AMD with Win10. Since Netbook's installing "to completion" and in "45 min"... I have reference points for AMD and... doubt any issues will surface.

    Once again... thanks to all!! Been great help... both in expertise and shoulders to cry on
