My new 1070 is on its way and I have to have the latest windows 10 to install the drivers I guess.. I did the update everything seemed to install right but it never gets to desktop just says it couldn't boot and reverts to previous windows version.
My system
Asus maximus iv rog
I7 2700k stock clocks to right now
16gbs ddr3 1866 ram
Asus 760 gtx
Samasung 840 pro 120gb
A few storage drives
Going to try removing all other drives
Any other ideas?

The only reason you need Win 10 is for DX12

You can't update anymore.
It's past the update period.

I updated my laptop two days ago with no issues just don't know what's with my main rig. I guess I read wrong about it needing windows 10 to install the latest drivers

You can not update to windows 10 anymore unless it has previously been updated as the windows license key will not validate now.
If you updated prior do a fresh install of windows 10 from an iso/usb.

windows 10 is required for direct x12
the latest drivers will work for 7/8/8.1/10.
I do not know if they work on vista/XP.

That may work but after speaking to microsft them selfs it also has ended according to them.
They extended it by 1-2 weeks I can't recall tbh but thats what the rep explained to me when trying to update a clients pc with and ACTUAL disability.

then theres the moral aspects

IMO, until MS gets it's Win 10 running on a billion PCs, they gonna always leave a method to get the free upgrade.
They WANT to be able to advertise that.

By the same token, they do not want to "look" desperate to reach that number. So, they make it weird to upgrade, but they still allow it.


OP can ofc, just do a clean install of Win 10 using his Win7/8.1 key, which he can "get" using AIDA64.


Either way, MS is not going to "force" ppl to pay for Win 10....yet. Once they get their 1 billion Win 10 installations...Win 10 will probably cost $300. LOL
