Unable to install win 10 on thinkpad x61s

#1 Post by ikea3333 » Sun Sep 22, 2024 11:32 am

I want to install Windows 10 on my ThinkPad X61s but I don't get far in the installer as i get the "A media driver your computer needs is missing" error. I've tried most of the solutions like unplugging and plugging back in the usb, I've tried the solutions given on many websites, but I still didn't fix the error. I thought that i might get the driver itself, but I don't know which is the driver. If someone could tell me which driver for the ThinkPad X61s I would need, that would be nice.
I'm the original owner of a(n unmodded) ThinkPad X61s (2009).
specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 @1.60GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM @667 MHz
480 GB Crucial BX500 SSD
1024*768 display(original)
Intel GMA X3100 iGPU

It didn't work. Should I just install windows 7 and then upgrade to windows 10?
