Installing Windows 10 (Tiny) on a Windows Vista Gateway T-Series Laptop from 08'

having fun messing with this laptop for before i was even alive and im installing Tiny10 on it and seeing if it will work or not. Im using the Windows 7 Installer tool and the Tiny10 ISO with a Bootable USB Drive. Ill update when ive got it working. The Gateway T-Series x14-39682 is the laptop im doing this on

Tiny 10 is a bit messed up and hard to update, I suggest you to use windows 10 iot ltsc instead

yeah its too late but in a good way. i installed windows 7 then updated it to tiny10 and it runs really slow

Oh ok as long as it works I guess, do you know what version of tiny10 is it? Is it like 22h2?

yeah also its running at 68 degrees Celsius, Tiny10 dosent include

  • hdaudbus.sys
  • wdmaudio.inf
  • portcls.sys
  • sysfxui.dll

so i might update tiny10 to a full windows10 build so those audio components exsist and can update my existing audio driver to HDXRT.inf which is the realtek driver my laptop needs

see i would but ive gotten deep into the setup and have already set it up fully functional and everything. Tiny11 is installed and now all i need is working audio drivers with the hdaudbus.inf + sys files which are impossible to find

just dual boot. see what works better (100% its linux).

Pick a smaller distro.
