So, I happen to have an older Sony Vaio that I intended to run Windows 10 on.

Downloaded the installer, setup to install but then paused it and checked the Sony website.... which said wait till we get drivers out.

Turns out because it has a hybrid graphics chip (Intel/AMD)... there will be no windows 10 update.

Frustrating but I get. So I have removed KB3035583 (which is the updater from Microsoft).... but I still get the message 'machine is ready to upgrade'.

I have hacked out many references to GWX in the registry... still get message.

Thoughts?

I can't get the update.

Put 10 on my cousins HP with hybrid graphics.

Premiere pro CC started crashing on startup. No graphics driver update for the intel half of the hybrid. Turning hybrid off in the bios so that it was all on the intel graphics and premier would open, but the computer was unusable for any games etc.

In the end found a solution that was to rename the premierepro executable to something else, then the catylist control center would let you assign it to the proper graphics and it was happy. With its default filename there is a lock icon beside it in the list and its fixed on the intel graphics option.

Other than that, everything else seems fine on the intel/amd hybrid setup. No idea what will happen when CC updates next, probably just drop a new exe in the folder and he will keep on using the old one by the shortcut to the renamed version. Will see what happens when it does update next.
