I can't boot from any media to do the clean install
I'm having problems clean installing a 64 bit version of Windows on an old PC. I have Windows 10 FCU 32 bit working on a Socket 939 motherboard with 4GB RAM. My CPU meets the Windows 10 64 bit requirements provided I do a clean install (I checked using CoreInfo). However, I can't boot from any media to do the clean install:
- My PC doesn't support booting from USB sticks. I tried the Plop boot manager to boot from a USB stick but that didn't work.
- I created a boot DVD via the Media Creation Tool which just stops with a Window logo. The DVD is fine since I can boot it on 2 other more recent PCs .
- Other DVDs e.g. a Reflect recovery DVD do boot fine in the old PC
Why can't I boot from the DVD created by the Media Creation Tool on an old PC?
