Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 17063 for PC Insider

What if MS let this build loose to:

A. Keep us Insiders quiet
or
B. Get more people working on the bugs - I'm sure there are many Insiders with knowledge =/+ than the MS staff.
or
Both

It was probably a combination of the two. Right now my system is functional but I have to deal with gremlins. I am trying to figure out what to do with my dual boot since the darn update borked my boot loader.

Oh well, this is beta (or alpha) software.

The problem has always been the same mate, it hasn’t changed :)

Win 10 RS-4 not compatible with Intel DX58SO motherboard

Is it the MoBo overall, CPU, or whatever it is that's not compatible? Most likely an incompatible driver, none-existing driver, firmware, or all?

Nope, sadly this is my only machine so I cannot have this build installed with such a major bug

I installed it with the old USB switch trick, plugged in the flash drive with the build that can actually be installed and when it got to the choosing partition part ( at which i was getting the error ) i switched the flash drive to the one with 17063 on it, worked like a charm

Have you considered dual booting? Works out well for many of us.

I’m not sure tbh but I strongly suspect it has to be the motherboard and its abandoned bios update since 2013

Which is interesting as mine is abandoned since 2011....and we have the same class of mobo (diff manufacturer) and same basic chipsets - X58, ICH10R, and even a Marvell controller (his for eSATA, mine for SATA III emulation).

But mine works perfectly fine with installs of all 17046 builds over 16299.

The major difference between our builds is that my boot drive is connected to the SATA III emulation ports, while his are connected to SATA II, which are run by the ICH10R. I had hoped that if he tried to boot from the eSATA port it would work, but that hasn't happened either, and farhfrd worked with him extensively to get drivers from 16299 injected into 17046, to no avail.

I will try a boot drive from eSATA mate as soon as I get a eSATA to sata cable

Unless there is a way to convert a sata cable to esata then I could try it right now :)

Could be, but doubt that. My Acer T690's BIOS is legacy Phoenix R01-B3 dated 11/24/2006. Granted, there is a newer version from 2007, but I'm afraid to update it.

LOL, not quite as old as when Fred Flintstone was alive, but in tech chronology very close.

I didn't read through your entire thread, but is all firmware up to date?
