Windows 10 on a Thinkpad R51e

#1 Post by dtwalters » Sat Nov 14, 2015 8:39 am

Does anyone know if Windows 10 can be installed on a Thinkpad R51e? It is currently running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit very happily. It has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200m graphic card. Thanks in advance.

Despite no answers to this inquiry, I decided to go ahead and try. EPIC FAIL! Windows 10 did install but poor video. I installed the Windows Vista video driver, it worked but not well. USB ports were not recognized and I could not find drivers. WiFi would work until the system was rebooted and then drivers had to be reinstalled with each reboot. I guess this system is just too limited to run Windows 10 well. I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro without a hitch.
