u probably forgot something to do, when u add driverWhat about the drivers issue?
yes, but why are the drivers suddenly....just gone? I also tried installing drivers using windows update, its also not working either, it wont install, lets say, the display adapters like intel hd graphics 620 or somethingWhenever I've installed Windows 10, I've let it do the install and put in the drivers it gets from Microsoft. After that, if I need to install a different driver, I can. It's pretty rare to have to do that though, I think multi-function printers are the only ones I've had to install after the Windows install finishes.
Im used to using a 1703 and its simpler than the new ones. I tried installing it with pre-injected drivers but after installation, the drivers are GONE. What is going on?Probably.
But why a 3 year old version that will:
- Report itself as outdated
- Update itself to v1909 almost immediately.
What specific differences do you see between 1703 and the current v1909?Im used to using a 1703 and its simpler than the new ones. I tried installing it with pre-injected drivers but after installation, the drivers are GONE. What is going on?
Ive been using 1703 for so long and the image size is not as large. Does 1703 support NVME ssd ?What specific differences do you see between 1703 and the current v1909?
Avoiding version updates also avoids security updates. Which is one of the fastest ways to letting your system get compromised.
'image size is not so large'.Ive been using 1703 for so long and the image size is not as large. Does 1703 support NVME ssd ?
Why does the drivers of the laptop UN-installs themselves when I install 1703 ?'image size is not so large'.
The size of a Win 10 install has not significantly changed since it was released 5 years ago.
Does 1703 support NVMe drives?
Well, since people were installing v1703 on NVMe drives when it first came out....yes.
You really really need to update.
That's a limitation of the Z97 motherboard, not the Win 10 version.My install is 5 years old and I never managed to install windows 10 on my Z97M-Plus motherboards' M.2 slot on an evo pro samsung NVME SSD.
Had to use a PCIe adaptor to work.
Why does the laptop uninstall the pre-injected drivers into the 1703 image after I install windows?That's a limitation of the Z97 motherboard, not the Win 10 version.
My ASRock Z97 was the same way until a BIOS update.
Still PCIe x2 though. Which is why my NVMe drive is a secondary in a PCIe slot adapter.
Why does the laptop uninstall the pre-injected drivers into the 1703 image after I install windows?
The Win 10 1703 is from the past, and it is a legit copy. The drivers are specific to the laptop, I use this command to add the drivers to the offline mounted windows image. "Dism /image:C:\test\offline /Add-Driver /driver:C:\test\drivers /recurse".
- No idea.
- Which 'drivers'?
- Where did the Win 10 install come from?
What about the drivers issue?And if you install that 1703, it will Upgrade itself to whatever is current.
Unless you've taken steps to 'prevent" that. Which you shouldn't do.
u probably forgot something to do, when u add driverWhat about the drivers issue?
I did all the steps, as you stated, and when windows FIRST boot, the drivers are nowhere to be found....as if its a FRESH imageu probably forgot something to do, when u add driver
steps:
1) mount image (this will mount your windows installation - virtual drive)
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /MountDir:C:\test\offline
2) add driver(s) (this will add drivers to virtual drive which is mounted)
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:c:\drivers /Recurse
2b) if u have custom drivers which are not digitaly signed or have missing certificate
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\drivers /Recurse /ForceUnsigned
3) check if your drivers were added
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Get-Drivers
4) u have to save all changes u did (install.wim will get updated from mounted virtual drive)
Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline /Commit
as long all paths are correct (paths to install.wim and drivers) it should work
That's a limitation of the Z97 motherboard, not the Win 10 version.
My ASRock Z97 was the same way until a BIOS update.
Still PCIe x2 though. Which is why my NVMe drive is a secondary in a PCIe slot adapter.
Those boards came out on the cusp of NVMe drives appearing. They were still brand new, and expensive.So pointless really!
According to asus website a BIOS update should have rectified this. Hopefully it will work now. Why ad a M.2 slot on the motherboard if one can only use it's storage as secondary and not have an OS booting from there?
Thanks for answering my question and apologies as I somewhat feel I have hijacked the OP's post.
