Hi @Cicika

Asmita,

I did extensive test, everythingy is OK according to the results. I really think there are DRIVER problems, with video driver (hdmi doesn't work) and bluetooth driver as well. Any further ideas? I didn't have any problems with windows 7, everything worked OK...

Thanx!

Dear friend,

no success, HDMI doesn't work, bluetooth doesn't work. I browsed thru the forums a little and it seems I am not the only one with connection issues. Any ideas? I really think that it's the driver problem. Everything worked fine with windows 7.

Please back-up the data and try re-installing the operating system - 

1. Shutdown the computer. 
2. Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears. 
3. Press F11 once for System Recovery. 
4. Choose the Keyboard Layout. 
5. Click on Troubleshoot. 
6. Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Recovery. 
Note : Back-up all your data as System Recovery will delete everything that you had saved or installed on the computer. 
 

Let me know.

The drivers that get installed during Windows 10 upgrade do not support, for example, switchable graphics feature (on older laptops like G72) . HDMI no longer works. As recommended on forums - to fix HDMI you can install AMD_UnifL/Catalyst_16.2.1_UnifL_v1.0.exe drivers like I did.

Thank you a thousand times! As I suspected - it was a driver problem. I am quite sure there is the same thing with bluetooth, it doesn't connect to device. I am using usb - bluetooth device for now...
