This is very old workstation Windows xp pro was installed originally. I made upgrade to Vista ultimate, then Windows 7 ultimate when 7 was released. I passed the upgrade to 8 and 8.1 because the machine was not suitable for the versions told by the checking program. For Windows 10, I immediately reserved the upgrade when windows icon appeared on my task bar. But checker said that the PC can't be installed Windows 10 because the CPU is not suitable. And Microsoft automatic update procedure had failed 2 times shown in the list of update history. Then, I decided to try to upgrade manually with "MediaCreationTool.exe". The upgrade was failed as I expected, but I got valuable message because of NX support. I checked BIOS setting in Security tag. "Execute Disable" was "On" under factory default. So, I changed it to "Off". Then ran "MediaCreationTool.exe" again. This time everything went through to the completion without any interruption, but the upgrade procedure took 5 hours plus. And as a side effect, Nvidia graphic driver files were replaced with Microsoft Basic Graphic Driver and no function of Nvidia Control Panel , but the display function is OK so far.
