Gigabyte motherboard bios install#

You can install Windows 10 with no license and run it in a 'not activated' mode almost indefinitely according to Microsoft's documentation (technically, not legally). I don't see how licensing is relevant to this question at all. If you put a Linux system on you could probably strap the drive to a newer system, install the OS then move the drive over to the old system and it should work. You are better off and safer to put a Linux distro on it but will probably need the optical to do it. Uhmm.everyone missed the big question, do you have a proper license to install Win10 on it? As much as I detest the licensing of some products as an IT person need to follow the rules, at least a little bit! I'll double check them, though, just to be safe. The Hirens one just worked the other day on another machine. The Hirens and Fedora sticks are two in my thumb drive binder that I use regularly. All power cables are connected (I also blew out the receptacles and re-seated the cables to be sure). The PSU is showing correct and steady output on a meter. Check those Hirens and Fedora USB sticks on another PC. Are you getting the 5 V on them? If USB keyboards work on them then that indicates that they are functioning and the mystery deepens.Д®DIT. Not recognising any of the USB ports with both your Hirens and Fedora makes me suspect that something else is going on.ДЇor instance, is the PSU OK? The motherboard has: 1 x 24-pin ATX main power connector 1 x 8-pin ATX 12V power connector 1 x 4-pin PCIe 12V power connector.ДЄnd there areВ 8 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports on the back panel and 4 more. It is what Gigabyte call 'Quad Bios' and I wonder what version it is. So right now it is running Windows 10 Home 32-bit and only registering 6GB of his 10GB of RAM.Д«it of a puzzle why it cannot recognise USB ports since it is not that old a motherboard being designed for both Vista and Windows 7. I was only able to do the 32-bit Windows installer, despite the CPU and board being 64-bit architecture. The only issue I am experiencing now is that when I try to boot to the 64-bit Windows installer, the machine simply reboots. I can POST the machine just fine and get into BIOS/CMOS Setup Utility, but can't seem to get it to recognize any USB storage devices.Д¬an someone point me in the right direction? My Google-fu is drying up as this is an older motherboard.Д®DIT (, 14:27): This issue was resolved by flashing the BIOS, as recommended by Scott4074. I've tried a variety of configuration combinations in BIOS, as well as different USB ports, different USB drives, and different methods of creating the bookable USB drive with no luck. My end goal is to install Windows 10 on this machine. I am working on fixing up an old computer for a friend and I've become stuck, so I turn to the intelligent spiceheads.
