Windows 10 on a T60p

#1 Post by CeeDee » Fri May 06, 2016 10:33 am

Hi All, I really hope this is not a question that has been asked already. I have done a search and did not find anything so here goes:
Can I run Win 10 on my T60p that has an ATI graphics card. I don't mind having to "fiddle" with it if I have to :D
Regards

I'd suggest you check the Windows 10 forum.

Thank you RBS for pointing me in the right direction. Looks like there's a bit of reading in my future.

You might have to fiddle quite a lot and end up with a very mediocre result, so would rather suggest using Win7 with that motherboard. Plus, due to a more GPU-demanding UI of Win10, your ATI might run a tat warmer, so make sure the thermal paste is ready to survive summer ambient temps ;)

Thankyou Iganas, I think I will be keeping Win 7 pro on my T60p now. I have decided that it just won't be with the hassle.
