[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Build 10240

check system information first and see if BIOS is A10 already

 

after he clean installs he can change it back

 

Well whatever want to do.
But still! I believe fast boot better in many ways

 

Did it and it says under BIOS version/date..Dell INC A06 11/18/2013..SMBIOS Version 2.7..BIOS Mode UEFI

 

Once you clean install it will turn back on, we are just slowing it down for you to get into bios this time and have first boot device CD ROM

 

You can update BIOS now if you wish, its on dells download drivers page, you need service tag or let their tool frisk your puter.

It's not hard to flash BIOS, download to desktop, click on it follow directions

 

I had Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 permanently activated via phone. However, after upgrading to Windows 10, both products are listed as not activated. Shouldn't they stay activated?

Ok well the good news is that now my BIOS version/date is A10 12/8/2014 so thats the good thing..still cant get into bios though LOL..I had checked that turn on fast startup thing because I thought that once I updated the BIOS all would be good but I Guess I need to uncheck it?

 

Yes this time to get into BIOS

 

So I uncheck it..reboot..and press F2 or F12 when I see the Dell LOGO and hope for the best
Oh and IF I get into BIOS I have to make sure that the DVDROM drive is the FIRST Thing selected of course
