To make all this things work except the nVidia card (which needs the Andrew08 drivers) I've downloaded the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit provided by Sony and intsalled this drivers: The SD Card reader and the Memory Stick reader.This are the things that won't work on start: The font will be at 125% which I don't like as not all my old apps support this well so I set it at 100% as usual. The fresh cleanup is a new option provided by Windows 10 and works well (it takes another two hours after the upgrade, if the system seems freezed at 99% don't worry: WAIT).Īfter the cleanup your copy of Windows 10 will still be validated.Īfter the fresh restart Windows will look for some drivers and after that the intel card will work correctly at the native resolution of the notebook (1600x900). In this way your key will be upgraded to Windows 10 and correctly validated.

#SONY VAIO UPDATE FIRMWARE EXTENSION PARSER DEVICE PATCH TAKING TOO LONG INSTALL#
You'll be stuck with an unactivated copy of Windows 10.ĭO THE UPGRADE FIRST, then if you want a fresh install do a full cleanup of you notebook. Your old key won't work and won't be upgraded. The short answer is: "Yes" or if you want to continue reading this post "Yes, with minor issues"īefore running to you PC and upgrade your Windows 7/8/8.1 copy be careful: don't do a fresh install (unless you have a Windows 10 key). The main question is: "Does Windows 10 work on this old but wonderful notebook, and can I switch to Windows 10?" I use my old Vaio for some apps that I don't have on my Mac and for some old games (nothing stressful).Īll the things reported in this post have been tried by myself so I'm pretty sure that if you have a notebook like mine all that I'm saying will work for you too. It's been about two weeks now that I'm using Windows 10 on my old Vaio VGN-Z650N/B which I bought back in April 2009.īefore starting this post I should say that this Vaio isn't my first choice Notebook anymore as I usually use a MacBook Air 11" mid 2012.
