More Windows 10s

Upgraded a Windows 7 Ultimate system using Intel DG965GF mainboard with Intel E4500 processor.  All thru Microsoft update.

Even with the slower processor, Windows 10 responds quickly.
Had two issues with this system, gave two 'Other Devices' with the dreaded exclamation mark in device manager; 'PCI Serial Port' and 'PCI Simple Communications Controller'.   (Just like all the other OS's have done for these devices, easy and simple fix.)

To correct the 'PCI Serial Port' needed to install the Intel AMT driver (Active Management Technology).

To correct the 'PCI Simple Communications Controller' needed to install Intel Desktop Utilities.

Both of the downloads came directly from Intel.com.  Needed to run both as Vista and admin to get them to install properly.   Desktop Utilities is working fine.  AMT says disabled but that is because it is in the BIOS as well.

Thinking about trying it under a Pentium 4 HT or Pentium 4D just what it does.  Stay tunned

UltraVNC still works under Windows 10 using the Vista mirror driver.  Not seeing any screen issues.  Seems to be about the same speed as before.  Tried various methods and options.  Everything seems normal as with Windows 8.1 or before.



Make sure you check the new notification center from time to time, click the note icon in the system tray.
