[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1009675, member: 176704"] Slight update: Finally figured out that what I thought was the CMOS jumper was not, when I found a jumper elsewhere on the m/b (nowhere near the CMOS battery) that was more clearly marked, and that does appear to actually reset the CMOS - and then I got into the BIOS! Progress ( well, a little, anyway) Still could not make the m/c boot from the internal hard disk, and so I tried the Win 10 Pro update USB key - and that "half booted" but told me I have problems , notably that the internal disk with WIN 10 on it is "locked" - so now looking for a way to "unlock" it and considering removing that disk (getting very good with that on these m/cs - albeit that it requires them to be almost completely disassembled!) and putting it in the caddy and running CHKDSK on it from the Win 7 m/c Pontiend Thanks but I now think that, until I get that hard disk "unlocked" it would not be accessible to the WIN 10 installation routine - and if I can unlock it then a full reinstall might not actually be necessary [/QUOTE]
