CF-20 Upgrading to Win 10

Hello,
Recently got a CF-20 with Win 7 on it and I wanted to upgrade to Win 10. Is there a way that's better than downloading Win 10 from Microsoft and piecing the drivers in with various install combos and restarts?
Thanks!

Chris

 

If you looking to upgrade to W10 then you should check out @Phoenix 2 W10 threads. He is the one to follow on anything W10.

Contact Panasonic and buy the recovery disk.
Or go here
http://business.panasonic.com/support-computerstablets-driverdownloads

and download the Enterprise cab file (Win10) that includes all of the drivers.


Here is a link to the win10 driver file if you want to install a generic win10 and then the drivers.
ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/computer/software/20ABCD-MK1-10X64_V2.0.exe

 

Just upgrade using this method

That's all.

 

Thanks so much for all your replies! I found this to be incredibly easy after all. All I did was go to Win 10 media creation site and waited 2 hours for it to download everything. Win 10 Pro installed with a hitch. I then downloaded all the updated drivers from Panasonic and that was it. This was a night and day difference from updating my CF-31 to Win 8.1! Thanks again!

 

Now make a backup of the complete clean win 10 install.
I use Acronis, but windows own software will work.

 

I will definitely do that, Shawn! I spoke a little too soon but was able to get it sorted quickly. Little things like screen rotation lock and some wireless radio issues. FYI Panasonic hosts the Windows 10 pro recovery image with drivers installed but not publicly. They have to email it the link to you. You download the image then create it on DVD or USB drive and boot it. That's it. The windows 10 pro image is downloadable until October 2017. Loving this little machine BTW

 

hmmm ...
looks like i'll be dl'ing that image and stashing it ...
just in case *someone* (ie : local SO/fire department) wants to have W10 installed .
i take it that there are different .iso/image files for the different machines available ?

 

Don't waste your time trying to download it.
In true Panasonic fashion it is FUBAR.
You need the model and serial number. I have those. Actually I have 6 sets from CF-31's.
The upgrade is available for CF-31 mks 1,2,3,4,5
I download the downloader (I hate those things. Keep it simple anyone?) Input the serial and model and it pukes. Tells me go to Panasonic site and read something. (something that doesn't exist)

Why such hoops? The d*m download is FREE from Microsoft. So by adding the Panasonic drivers it somehow becomes top secret unobtainium?

 

hmmm ... i thought it'd be *fubarium* .


i can see where having a gen-u-ine panasonic down-loader to do the dirty work of getting the right stuff is beneficial .
a case of "yeah , we checked those out ... green lighted 'em" .
but this all becomes academia if (as you observed) the dl'er works about as well as a screen door on a submarine .

 

fubarium is a new one to me...
I like it.

 

guys, I'll copy the image and post it to my NAS to share. I only have the CF-20 Windows Pro install but everything installs so easy with this image! If anyone has a 20 this will be awesome to have once they shut it down in October
