Product: HP EliteBook 8560w
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

I have problem with Windows 10 on my HP 8560w. As far as I can see, there are still no drivers from HP to HP 8560w...

In the beginning I installed a bit older version of Windows 10 and it worked for some time well, when one Windows Update finally caused infinite loop of blue screen sayign 'Inaccessible Boot Device'. The same thing happens when I try to intall clear, latest version of Windows 10, during installation blue screen is shown and nothing can be done.

 

I read that some people use Windows 10 on HP 8560w but how can it be done?

By the way, Why there are no still official drivers from HP for W10.

 

Could anyone help?

Hello @marmal102

 

Welcome to the HP Support forum.

 

There are no official drivers because HP hasn't released them - your model is too old and was released long time before Windows 10 was released in public. Your PC officially supports XP, Vista, 7 and 8/8.1

Without the vendor support and the official drivers, there is no guarantee of proper support. Additionally, with the Win 10 update policy when Microsoft decides what and when to change, there is no guarantee it will work now and after 3 months, for example.

 

I strongly recommend you choose a supported operating system for your device such as Windows 7 or 8.1 - both are still supported by Microsoft, they are stable and a good choice.

 

10 reasons not to choose Windows 10:
