windows 10

[Norman Marshall]

Is anyone running this on windows 10??? only....My JB has recently retired itself so I'm have to rebuild just to discover I cant get updates for win 7 anymore. ...I would greatly appreciate any answers here....because I cant update the OS..I cant get onto websites because my browser is no longer supported. I've tried windows update but keep getting "problem occurred"  I can only assume that win 7 is no longer supported because MS are pushing win 10 on everyone which also means I cant get my second monitor to work. I haven't fiddled with PC,s for a few years so chances are its a very simple fix but I've forgotten what to do.. I've done the usual with device manager and hardware changes...updating the graphics driver....on my old JB I had onboard vga for main screen and pci express vga for second monitor and all worked great....now.....when this MB was in my PC that had 3 monitors attached to it everything worked fine...even when I re-installed windows it picked up the 3 monitors (same MB same GC) Just a different problem... ive even gone through the different resolution settings on the second monitor but will it hell kick into life....please help

Windows 7 is still supported until 2020 so you should be able to get updates, I still have updates and I am running windows 7 on 5 machines.

What you need to do is once you have installed windows 7 install google chrome, that will enable you to download service pack 1 and then that will give you the full update for windows 7.

It seems stupid, but it is the only way around doing that, you have to keep updating windows 7 for about 4 times before you get everything to get it running.

I certainly would not recommend 10 so hopefully you might now be able to get windows 7 back up and running.

LoL ooops I am formatting this computer (home cinema) in 2019 so I will see if the date thing happens to me. I know that windows 7 installs an old version of IE, which is why I said about installing chrome, but to be honest I never checked the date, I assumed that it was based on the cmos so should have been current. However, I think that it allows you to adjust date and time.

Glad you got it sorted anyway. I never trust microgreed now for anything, even it's own emails get sent to my junk folder and I am using their hotmail account, they really are a disgusting company.

Your rite mark...system time is tallied with the cmos time...and if cmos isnt keepin time then its time for a new cmos battrie...I'm all up and running now just in time for new year..I had me vga cables the wrong way round but i got there in the end...SO...a big thanks to mark with chrome because it was chrome that told me my time was wrong and as soon as that was put rite i got everything back.. updates came fast and furious.

Thank you Mark

There is a too WSUS or something like that for downloading updates if windows update goes screwy.

I would like to say that E-Touch does work on Windows 10 with the usual run as admin changes required for windows 7
