    Curious if anything has been said for official support for Windows 10 on the P150em / NP9150. I'd run the Technical Preview on mine for a while, but after twice having version updates screw everything up, I dialed back to Win7. I've had Win8 on it as well, but frankly the video drivers & software haven't ever really worked right on 8 either (Catalyst Control Center in particular - video drivers downloaded from Sager seem to work properly, but CCC crashes. Installing latest drivers from AMD would freeze up the whole computer and require system restore).

    I'll probably try it either way, but I was curious about whether there would be official support / drivers, or if it would be up to the community to figure out any bugs that come up. I haven't had anywhere near the issues with my desktop computer with Win10TP.

    At present it's uncertain, but seeing as how 8.1 specific drivers were not produced for the P150EM/170EM, 10 drivers may not be either. You may need to lean on 10's native repository of drivers instead.

    I always assumed 8 & 8.1 shared the same driver structure, so they just never labeled the 8 drivers as also being for 8.1.

    Does anyone else have issues with the video drivers from AMD's self-detecting utility locking up the laptop & requiring a system restore?
