    I have it on a N150 Plus :) It runs slightly faster on 10 than it did on 7 starter :rotfl:
    A friend successfully did his N510 (and is busy digging any old computer he can find just to see if it works)

    The 102 is newer than both these isn't it?

    Well I installed Windows 10 but the display is not correct, stuck on 800 X 600 and Edge, Google Chrome, etc. need to be scrolled sideways and the display just looks euch!


    It needs a display driver, of which I have found none.



    I think I'll return to Windows 7.

    It installed a driver for the 1024x600 display on mine without any prompting.
    Go into the device manager and see if it can find you a driver ;)

    I installed a Windows 7 driver I downloaded from Samsung that update driver in devices did not find.


    Now Windows 10 loads with 1024 X 600 display and promptly blue screens with a idgkmd32sys error.


    I can't even get it to stay on long enough to get into device manager to uninstall the driver.

    You've tried the Samsung website for a Windows 10 driver presumably and not found one. In this order, try for a Win8 one. If that doesn't work, a Win 7 one. If that doesn't work, Vista, and if that doesn't work, XP. Any of these have a good chance of working.
  • If anyone finds these drivers can they link me? Please and thank yous...

    I tried all these drivers.


    It works for less than a minute then gives the windows 10 version of a BSOD. Not even enough time to roll back the driver.


    Works OK in Windows 10 at a resolution of 800 by 600 with the Microsoft driver.


    I should have believed the Window 10 nag icon that Windows 10 was not suitable because of the graphics being old.
