    You should be more specific.

    last I understood, the latest leak will only install with EFI no normal bios. Whether that was for virtual machines or all machines, I am not entirely sure.

    9901 installs ok on BIOS systems. At least if you run setup from windows.

    No it installs just find with normal BIOS you don't need EFI

    I done it twice now. I used a HyperX 8GB flash drive and the Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool and wrote the 9901 ISO to the flash drive. From the moment I turned on the PC to the moment I was at the freshly installed desktop it took EXACTLY 10 minutes on the dot. I was in shock, so I stopped the timer at 10:06:05 LOL, is that just coincidence or is that their way of trying to make everything in tenths now?

    Windows version 10
    Kernel version 10
    Time to install 10 minutes... :unsure:

    My system is a 6 year old X58 BIOS based system with 12GB ram and a 6-core Xeon. Installed to a freshly cleaned Samsung 840 Pro, from the USB 2.0 port. 10 minutes exactly on the dot including waiting for the email code. The second install did not offer me my normal PC, so I was forced to select my last VMware install as the machine. Not sure how to change that back to the normal name I use for this machine...

    Sort of like on every Forum where he ask the same exact question, he never answers with the correct
    what type of Install is he doing,
    Clean or VM or over v9888.
    and if he is Bios or UEFI,
    so much for sticking around for any help.... or giving any help for those who might be helpful.
