Classmate 3 and Windows 10We do not recommend that you attempt to upgrade to Windows 10 in your Classmate 3 yet. Our own testing has determined that the Classmate 3 may not be fully compatible with Windows 10. If you attempt to do an upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the upgrade may fail at around 70%. When it fails, it may leave your Classmate 3 in an unusable state. For customers that are looking for the Windows 10 experience, we will be launching a range of new products that deliver the best in new Windows 10 features shortly. If you have any queries or questions regarding this please don't hesitate to talk to one of the support team, or your account manager. Applies to:

ProcessNote: Ensure the notebook is plugged into the AC adapter before proceeding with any EC or BIOS update.
In this example, we're updating a Stonebook Lite L105B to a custom EC that disables num lock. Download and extract the relevant EC files, then run the ECFLASH batch file. The correct batch file will be located in the WinFlash directory. This will start the process of updating the KBC/EC.
Note: You cannot use the keyboard whilst performing the update!
Once the EC update has been completed successfully the machine will automatically shut down. When the unit has turned off disconnect the power cable for 10 seconds, then reconnect and power the machine back on. You can check in the BIOS to see if the update has been completed successfully, the update in this example should now be at 1.07.04BST.

ScenarioConsider the following situation:
CauseThe Windows AHCI driver is not left enabled when the system is installed on a system using an IDE controller. When you then boot the image on the AHCI system, the system does not have an AHCI driver enabled, so the system cannot boot. Resolution

ScenerioWhen you Install the Intel HD Graphics Driver, the Intel tray Icon and Hotkey program are installed by default. In some situations it is advantageous to remove these programs, for example, to prevent users accidentally rotating the screen.
How this Can Be DoneThis can be done by manually by making registry changes to the system. There are two methods available, and old and a new method which will depend upon the age of the Intel HD Graphics driver you have installed. New MethodCheck for a Registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\igfxtray\TrayIcon > ShowTrayIcon.
Note: As this is a per-user setting, as part of a managed deployment you may wish to deploy this registry change as a user group policy preference. This is the easiest way to push out this setting.
