Question Asus Rog Strix g15 - G513RM-HQ064W: can i install win10?

[Dreamers2]

I'm in the market for a new laptop
my use cases will be heavy video editing and university
this rog strix g15 looks good to me the only issue is win11 which i really don't want
so I've planned to install win10 onto it although I've seen a lot of controversial answers on whather is possible or not
Some people complain that you can't disable secure boot or TPM and therefore they are unable to boot from usb while some other can't even see the usb in the first place

i've installed Win10 on many pcs in the past and never had those issues but i'm starting to wonder if the TPM that win11 requires is starting to cause a lot of issues for win10 users

So my question is: is it really possible? anyone did that on the Strix g15?
thanks and sorry again

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

win11 which i really don't want
You might want to stick to Windows 11, since that's the way forward.

that a valid point ngl but i prefer win10 so i'm wondering if it's safe to install.

You can clone the drive in question or manually choose what you want copied over to a removable storage media(thumb drive or portable SSD/HDD).

ok thanks
so what about the win10 install?
as far as i know windows updates should be pretty cleaver in detecting what drivers it needs

It's what's been causing people to rip their hairs off their scalp for as long as it's been in existence(on Windows 10 and above...some instances of older OSes as well by Microsoft). The OS thinks "these" are the right drivers for your platform...in reality they're not. you're advised on manually installing all relevant drivers for your platform, after sourcing relevant drivers from motherboard/laptop maker's support site.

yep i've seen that they have "other" i'm assuming is win10

Did you even click on the drop down menu's other option? It only brings up 2 service manuals in French and English. No drivers.

dang it well i guess i'm stuck with win11

could be that those drivers works on win10 as well?

Be my guest, just be prepared to rip your hair out when things go South. If I'm you, I'd leave things as is. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
