TLDR, Windows 10 is unstable and has driver problems. There's a reason it's free. You're basically beta testing their unfinished piece of shit OS. Don't upgrade yet.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Windows 10 for me has been bulletproof. Any issues I have had have been minimal and usually a result of out of date hardware/software. Windows 10 IMO is a win, which MS needed after the crapfest that was Windows 8.

The issues Orth is having are, as far as I can tell, the result of his hardware (I've had Foxconn boards, never will again....I still think the Foxconn suicides were a result of embarrassment).

Gotta agree with Chunka here - Windows 10 has been absolutely wonderful for me. From a GUI and functionality standpoint. Love it. I tolerated windows 8.1 (I less than tolerated Windows 8 ). Windows 7 was good, but I couldn't go back after having used 10. Absolutely zero problems from my end.

Windows 98 with the exploder shell removed was the best OS I have ever used....but Win 10 is pretty damned good. MS removed a lot of the bloated crap that plagued 8, and even to an extent 7.

 Isn't figuring your own hardware issues out fun for you?   No?   I mean come on, figuring out your own hardware issues is part of the fun of owning a computer.   If only there was a guide that would walk you through it step by step.    lol   I'm just poking fun at the irony of the situation man.  Smiley   Just having fun.  haha

Found this on HP wesite, could be your MB
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03135925

Bios updates should be on drivers screen for your model PC, example pic below
Hope it helps

Edit
I would be better getting direct from board manufacturer, but from what I can see, these boards are made by Foxconn for HP, and even branded HP
But double/triple check before update, also attached a bit of a better board pic, see if same, has the model name above memory slots

In all honesty....what those fuggers will charge you will most probably buy you a real motherboard. From there its not hard at all to set up your own system that actually works.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6BM35M6951 is a lower priced decent option.....or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131836R.

I wish I still had a picture of the old HP Compact Cases circa late 90's (not Compaq) ugh trying to modify anything on that rig was like trying to solve a Rubix Cube as a one-armed old blind drunk man. You had to literally unscrew parts and unfold the shelves that held the Power supply to even reach the mobo. What a nightmare... Ever since my experience with one of those, I've always bought the biggest towers I can find. As much room inside as possible, I don't give 2 shits how it looks or how big it is for traveling.

Oh, and we already know the chipset on your board is an H61....we just dont know which model. Usually the first few letters of your SN will tell what model you have, but "MXU" doesnt correspond to one. There IS an MX, and an MXV....perhaps its one of those.
