DJ_Mo Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 We are trying to deploy Windows 10 64bit on a Dell Optiplex 960. We boot with a USB created SmartPE (64-bit) [UEFI/Legacy boot, FAT32 media]. We cannot get past the splash screen (black background with teal windows 10 logo), there is a set of spinning dots under the logo that keeps on rotating. It never gets to the SmartDeploy Wizard ... so we cannot continue. I have rebooted several times, and tried the same USB SmartPE media on other PCs and it works (different model #). I am thinking there needs to be a Windows 10 Optiplex 960 driver on the platform pack (currently only Windows 7 is available). Any suggestions or help?

SmartDeploySupport Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Since Dell doesn't support Windows 10 on the OptiPlex 960, we can't support it, and that's why there is no platform pack. That being said, you can load Windows 10 on older devices and then try to use Windows Update for any missing drivers. But, you're own your own for any missing drivers, or driver issues on this device. If you are booting from USB, and it's never making it to SmartDeploy, then it's one of two things. Could be bad USB boot media, in which case try re-creating the boot media or using a different USB drive. Or it could also be bad or not enough RAM in the machine. Trying a different machine if you have one is a good way to know if this particular machine is the problem. Thanks, SmartDeploy Support Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Mo Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 "If you are booting from USB, and it's never making it to SmartDeploy" ... this is the issue. It wasn't a bad boot media or bad/not enough RAM. I recreated the boot media again with no Platform Packs, and that fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
