Hi Paul,

 

Thanks for the tip on Win10 forums and sorry for long delay on reply. Spent the following week getting rid of a very persistent Yahoo browser hijack and the week after that inching forward on manual install of Win10. Manual install kept failing at various stages but managed to progressively resolve each issue that came up during that week, then had to suspend activities for past 2 weeks due to a work trip to US.

 

However, upon return a couple of days ago switched the laptop on again to continue troubleshooting and lo and behold the normal pre-registered Win10 auto install stared up of its own accord and completed flawlessly !!! Go figure that 🙂 

 

Bizarely it recognised the X700 graphics card natively and I didn't even need to change that. The only noteworthy issue was that it changed the regional settings to US but of course that was a breeze to sort out so I'm now up and running with a Win10 machine.

 

Thanks again for your help on this long running saga, much appreciated.

 

Warmest regards.

George
