You just plug into the LAN and run windows update, should install all drivers automatically.I have reinstalled Windows 10 on my Optimus VIII but have issues installing drivers (please see attached picture). My question is, where do I download these from, and how do I install them? View attachment 18197
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry, what do you mean no luck?I tried that but no luck. My screen keeps going black and freezes too. And when booting up at PCS logo that freezes (see pic), too. Any ideas? View attachment 18200
Correct. It keeps checking for updates but doesnt download anything.Sorry, what do you mean no luck?
You mean windows update isn't working on the LAN?
How are you connecting to the network?Correct. It keeps checking for updates but doesnt download anything.
How are you connecting to the network?
You won't be able to connect through wifi as you haven't got drivers, you need to connect through the LAN (cabled)I'm connected through my WIFI. How long does the updates usually take to appear on screen? Seems like its checking fir updates but nothing actually appears on screen (what is downloading etc).
Thanks

When you reinstalled Windows 10 how did you do that? What version of Windows 10 did you install?
I had to power down the system as it seemed like nothing was happening. I installed Windows 10 pro via usb.

That just isn't right, I would strongly suspect that Windows installation isn't right (or there is a hardware issue....).I waited more than half and hour to see if it unfroze but it didnt.

Where did you get Windows 10 Pro from and what version is it? Did you order it with Windows 10 Pro installed?
When you're installing windows, are you deleting all existing partitions on the OS drive you're installing to?Sorry I didnt explain properly. I installed the Windows 10 pro (trial) from the Microsoft Windows tool.
I've tried instalking windows 10 three times, but each time I tried it would freeze or the screen would go black after a period if time. Each install I could successfully set everything up (add email account, click options for gps tracking etc).

Well it sounds like in that case there's perhaps something wrong with the drive you're installing to.I formatted the HD each time I installed Windows so it was a fresh hd
Agreed. Can you post your FULL specs from the order page please?Well it sounds like in that case there's perhaps something wrong with the drive you're installing to.
Can you post your full specs? Have you only just received this?
