I too tried DVD but with same result.... even going into the ISO files and double tapping the setup.exe got me to the point where a restart was required and then as soon as the logo appeared it stops...
I obviously don't know for sure.... but with all the time I spent trying and always hitting the same wall at the same place I believe it has to be the BIOS, especially as I installed a brand new SSD...
Mooly if you read my posts you'll know exactly where it fails.... I described it in detail
My Samsung is not UEFI.... it only has UEFI support which is different.... It was built right on the cusp just before all new machines came out with UEFI and secure boot function.... You can't...
Thanks.... I have previously double clicked and mounted the ISO... and then executed the setup file.... but I haven't tried copying the contents of mounted ISO to FAT 32 formatted USB.... nothing to...
Yep.... If I open Rufus and select FAT32 then select the ISO to create my installer it automatically reverts to NTFS... tells me FAT32 cannot be used with this type of ISO
You can't create a MBR USB installer in FAT32....... Rufus won't allow it.... and the Microsoft Usb install creator won't create a FAT32 either.
Even if i try to download the Win 10 TP update and...
here's the ultimate test.... return my laptop to it's brand new state (but with upgraded SSD instead of HDD) so it is now effectively just like I'd removed it from the box when new.... (and with...

Calling all Samsung owners - Windows 10 Forums
believe me Charlie........ I spent 6 weeks trying EVERYTHING to get TP installed on this machine which as I said runs 8.1 flawlessly and...
Dave.... thanks for chiming in... but seriously don't even bother to try and solve why I can't install..... I can tell you that the spinning white dots NEVER appear.... and I left it once for 24...
I tried many times to get win 10 preview to work on my Samsung RV511 laptop which easily meets all the requirements.... it hangs immediately at the logo screen when trying to install. Naturally, I...
There is no secure boot function..... The BIOS in this machine has only this:
"UEFI Support"..... if enabled will allow booting into BIOS OS or UEFI OS (that's how the definition is written)
...
Having spoken to seveal 'uber' IT pros I've come to the conclusion that for sure something in the BIOS in this machine is not allowing me to enter the logo screen background processes of a Win 10...
Good onya Nevil.... :cool:
Many thanks for chiming in..... that looks like a Kiwi flag you're flyin.... spent a few years there last century.
It interests me that you can install a couple of...
There seems to be an issue with a raft of different Samsung computer products being unable to install Win 10 TP.
The issue is exactly the same for all being locked out after 3 seconds at the logo...
How did I know that wasn't gonna work.... :rolleyes: same same just sits at the logo screen and the spinning dots never appear cos it's stuck and there's an initial instruction which the installer...
Hey Bill..... specialist at TRYING to install would be more appropriate.... :chuckle:
So.... firstly Mr Da Costa (who is obviously the online link between MS and the people for W10) suggested to...
I thought this was worth copying over from Andre Da Costa on the MS page in answer to same question over there. I can only assume his MS loyalty is why he might suggest Rufus is a factor...? But...
Just a suggestion..... but if you want to return to that lovely blue dual boot screen then you'll need to Fix the MBR... I use Macrium Reflect in which you can create a Win PE rescue USB drive. Once...
Hey Bill
That's what I thought.... hence why it was my first choice.... at least it's perplexing and as such more than average to solve.
Anyway... by process of elimination we now know my...
Thanks for the tip David.... of course I'd need to know exactly what is required to be enabled within the BIOS so I can try to disable the rest..??
I downloaded the earlier version ISO but it's...
So...... if i do a completely clean install onto a brand new SSD there is nothing that can cause conflict because the laptop has no system whatsoever and I tried that first.
I removed the access...
I'm also not terribly impressed with the info on the samsung support page for my model and what looks like duplication of drivers.
The Windows 7 x64 came preinstalled on this laptop.
BIOS was...
I already have the latest BIOS and all updates from Samsung's website. Interestingly I posed the question over on Microsoft for one of their people to hopefully have some ideas. The stream of info in...
