Get Windows 10 application points to to intel for lacking on drivers, which impedes my upgrade to windows 10. The frustration and dissapointment for intel not being ready for such a big event is real and big. At least is there an ETA? There is already one driver but for windows 10 64bit.

AlexApo,

I would recommend that you check the following website for further information about Windows* 10 running on Intel products:

http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-035705.htm?wapkw=windows+10 http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-035705.htm?wapkw=windows+10

If your processor is an http://ark.intel.com/products/80817/Intel-Core-i5-4460-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz Intel® Core™ i5-4460 Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.40 GHz) it is validated to run with Windows* 10 64bit only, see here: http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/42174/Haswell# @All http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/42174/Haswell# @All

Intel has currently no plans to support Windows* 10 32-bit from a Driver Support standpoint.

Regards,

Thank you for taking the time to answer me, although the answer is not what I was hoping/wanting to be. Having communicated with microsoft, I know that I have to upgrade first to windows 10 32bit version, since I own the windows 7 32bit version, in order to activate the windows 10. Then I can clean-install the 64bit version. By the answer you gave me I understand that because of my poor choice of using an Intel's product I can now do neither, impeding me from taking advantage of a limited-time free upgrade to an all-new OS. This outcome really saddens me and it will be taken into consideration for future purchases.

Again, thank you for taking the time to answer me.
