    I thought the requirements were the same as 8.1?

    There are some subtle differences between HW requirements for 8.0 & 8.1 which prevented me updating 8.0x64 to 8.1 notably CMPXCHG16B support.

    Is there still new hardware with BIOS on the market? I actually doubt it.

    True my bad but I was referring how the software market is build on to let people buy newer hardware to get everything out of their software :p

    among many other machines here I'm running an ancient Lenovo Workstation Quad Core XEON beast with 48 gig of Ram, old bios of course and I would be very upset if it wouldn't be able to handle W10 RTM

    Guess you won't find any laptop that can run that amount of Ram, correct me if I'm wrong

    Desmond is a freak as you might know and therefore he sometimes does things which might be useless. Just out of curiosity I filled that beast with all what it could handle and I like it though. Perhaps it is too much but they might have had an intention to provide that Ram place and if I look at the later Workstation-models with 6 core, I can detect even 128 or something like this. Must be a reason for, no?
