Is possible to install Windows 10 on computer with BIIOS?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

We all know that current Windows 10 works only with UEFI.
No BIOS support.

Exist any trick to install on computer (laptop) with BIOS?
Laptop has all requirement to run Windows 10, only one problem is that uses BIOS.

I don't want to use old unsupported Windows 7.

Thank you for each help, reply or comment.

Windows 10 can install on systems with a "Legacy" BIOS. It does not require UEFI.

Ok, how to fix ISO image?
Q is simple 'cause I tried Rufus tool to create USB from ISO with BIOS support and it was never finished successfully.

Don't use Rufus. use the Media Creation Tool.

[MIRKOSOFT]

Tried, really works.

But Ifound other problem. Wanted to install Windows 10 on USB - it shows no drive. It needs driver. Cananybodyhelp me with recommendation?

You can't run Windows on a USB drive...this is by design.

I mean why not? You can create a windows 10 in the USB, as far I heard, correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's not an onerous task.

Creating the install image...and installing it and running it on a USB device are 2 very different things...
You can't run Win on a USB device.

I try to install it to disk, then use RAW disk copy and then move image to USB, if I will no other way.

I don't get your point where you said: "USB device are 2 very different things, You can't run Win on a USB device."

ok, I Googled "Create a Windows 10 Install USB" and the first result come up is https://techloris.com/create-a-windows-10-install-usb/ and they described how you can install a fresh copy of Windows 10.

Can you pay attentiom already ? ?....You can do that for sure.
You cannot install and run Win on a USB device.

At the risk of repeating myself for a 3rd time...

Hi Mirkosoft,
As BC has told you

Windows 10 can install on systems with a "Legacy" BIOS. It does not require UEFI.

What type of drive are you installing Windows 10 to? Like is the drive detected and showing in the laptops bios? If not then the drive needs checking or replacing.

Please give more details in your posts or they will turn out like this, with people getting the wrong idea.

Hi!

I'm using SATA 2,5" HDD and device to install is USB 2.0.
Both are in BIOS visible and even - Linux is possible to install there.

Clear as mud...

You can't run Windows on USB but you can install windows on USB device.

Hi Miro

If you have already installed linux on the 2.5" sata drive and it is booting ok. Then it seems strange Windows isn't installing and booting. You haven't said the model of Laptop is it a Dell?
Some Dells default to raid mode in the bios  for hard drive access. When in this mode windows install won't see the hard drive. You will need to change to IDE or ACHI. ACHI is preferred for Windows 10.

At least one reply without contempt.

To all similar - if you are not sure what you're writing and looking at me like a moron, try it really. If I know anything by my experience, then I can write what really possible is or is not - then I can only give advice, not contempt.
BTW: The same way I was meaning that's not possible to boot DOS, Windows and OSX on single disk - and it works - try it! I provide help. It is only example...

Back to last reply:
I have currently installed Linux Mint on USB and runs fine.
Windows install works, but when I want to decide to which disk/partition to install - no disk ris ecognized. Similar way was problem with Windows 7 long time ago. I downloaded drivers (there can be selected at that situation) and it was working. I meant that Windows 10 has these drivers.
It is laptop or better to say netbook. No any manufacturer name. Of course AHCI is only possible way in current systems.
I try to find driver and if I'll find, I provide link. Or if will work not, I will install it to HDD and then create RAW disk image and then copy it to USB.
I was busy, so please forgive me delay. I'll report soon.

Where is the contempt ? ?...are you mentioning my posts ?
I don't understand.

Practically any processor capable of running Windows 7 or Windows 8 has this hardware feature, so that problem is likely to be that it’s been disabled in your computer’s BIOS. To re-enable this feature you need to restart your computer and go into the BIOS (Delete, F2 and F10 are common keys to enter it, but check your computer’s manual for full instructions). Every BIOS is different, so the exact instructions will differ from computer to computer.
Look for a section on your processor, such as CPU Configuration, which is likely to be in the Advanced section of the BIOS. Make sure that the Execute-Disable Bit is turned on, which may also be called XD or NX. Finally, make sure that you’ve turned on the virtualization option. Save your settings, reboot your computer and you should now be able to install Windows 10.

I hope this information will be helpful!
