Title: W10 and XX Post by: Scroobius on November 26, 2016, 02:26:34 pm Hi Peter,
At the moment I have dual boot on my laptop. I use W10 for general duties but the other OS is W8.1 with XX installed. I only use that for music and I have not bothered to update it as I do not use it very often. However I am thinking of upgrading to W10 on both partitions or possibly deleted one partition and install XX on the W10 partition. The question is can I do that? I remember that to get XX to work under W10 needed a fair bit of "tweeking" is that still the case or would be a straightforward install with later XX versions.

Well, if you like to confuse others, please post more of this. :swoon::swoon: :) I assume you wanted to say something like this : I have a W8.1 boot and I only use that as Music Server PC (file server) and I use XXHighEnd on it for Tidal or maybe other stuff but explicit not for playing music. So that assumed ... I don't think there will be general issues with such a setup and XXHighEnd but generally it will still be so that possibly "tomorrow" all collapses because Windows 10 is Windows 10. Btw if all is right then XXHighEnd 2.07 will definitely prevent W10 from upgrading. So then it should be so that once you got all set up properly, it will stay fine (or as usual). If I did not understand then let me know.

I shall run XX on the laptop and the files will be on USB connected hard disc" From what you say it should be OK but I do not understand this: Quote Btw if all is right then XXHighEnd 2.07 will definitely prevent W10 from upgrading does this mean I should prevent W10 from applying any upgrades? if so I will keep dual boot and on the W10 XX partition prevent internet access and therefore updating. Is that correct? Cheers P Title: Re: W10 and XX Post by: PeterSt on November 26, 2016, 06:23:06 pm Paul,
I am not sure how useful your laptop is without Internet access. It looks like I don't understand why you want to do this (put XXHighEnd on that laptop). I am also not really saying that you should prevent updates. But if I had "some" W10 version running stable, I would stop further updating. That is really all. But Internet access should be allowed with 2.07 and updates will not come through ... if all is right (and when you want so).

Two partitions one with W10 and XX only and it will not be used for anything else but to run XX. So internet access not required and updates not required. So no problems. This partition will not be used very often maybe only on holidays with my portable hi fi system. But portable is probably stretching the meaning of the word :-). The other partition will also have W10 and will be used for general stuff that laptops are used for and of course will have internet access. So no problems. Cheers P |
