I have an HP XW9300 Workstation and want to install Windows 10, but every time I try I run into the ExpressChange128 issue. My friend suggested it might be a CPU or RAM problem. The CPU is two AMD Opteron 285 chips, which could be outdated even though we checked its status in Windows 7—though it still works now and I’m still feeling sad about it. I’ve used Rufus to boot from a Windows 10 ISO, but only got the Windows logo. I also tried booting from Windows 7 while running, but that always triggers the same error. I think there might be an issue with the RAM, but I’m hoping it’s not related to the CPU.
The setup meets the basic system needs for Windows 10, but memory usage is low. Adding a little more RAM could improve performance.
I'm pretty certain they adjusted the basic standards a few years ago.
They quickly looked up the details. After facing criticism, they rolled back and increased the minimum RAM to 2GB for 64-bit users. This change likely affected systems with just 2GB, making it hard to meet the new standards. It seems audio and onboard graphics were impacted following the announcement.
