[Request] i5 2500K on HP Pro 3500

[Morrouh]

Hello! Found this thread on google for my question.

My friend asked me to reinstall Windows from 7 to 10 for him. I agreed. And only later did I find out that he had a foxconn 2abf motherboard, which I had never encountered before. I could not find information on the Internet about the OS supported by it, but I found information about BIOS firmware, with which you can install Windows 10.

As a matter of fact, I have a question: does this motherboard support Windows 10? Do I need to update bios for this? And can I do it on my own (as a simple user)?
Here I found the necessary files for the BIOS update, provided by Mr. DeathBringer. Can I use them?

It can be flashed by a hardware programmer or modded safuwin only:
safuwin CU3_819.ROM /p /b /n /r
Modded safuwin isn't available for free.

I understand. Well, if there is such a need, I will try to find a way to flash the bios of this device, even if it will not be free. Thank you for your help. Take care of yourself!

I am in a very similar situation to op's. Can i use AFUDOS to flash the modded bios?

No, it's not compatible with this BIOS.
