    Solved Trouble changing XP to Win 10 pro

    Many thanks for this . I am going to go with the DBAN route and remove the XP altogether and start again. I think I may also update the BIOS version first or can I do that after the DBAN operation. Not to worried if I mess this up as I am learning a great deal. Thanks

    The machine is very capable spec wise my real problem is that it seems to have a secure boot that I need to disable or override in some way . then I can look at the windows 10 install
