ThinkPad T40 Windows 10 [SOLVED]

#1 Post by luca9903 » Sat Apr 30, 2016 4:59 am

Hi Everybody,

I have upgraded my TP T40 to Pentium M 725. When i try installing Windows 10 it says it has not PAE, and I Know. But why if i try it on my TP X41 with the same CPU the installation starts? Is there a way to install it on TP T40?

Thank you in advance, waiting your answers.

It's not the same CPU. Not the same chipset to begin with.

AFAIK, no.

Thanks. So I can only change the t40 motherboard with a r52 one to be able to install it (?).

R52 or T43/p but these will also call for different RAM and CPU.
