Dave,

   I've no idea as I run only linux on it; haven't done M$ in 20 years now. A
web search might find the answer for you.

   If you'll allow a suggestion, replace the existing hard drive with a large
Samsung SSD, install linux and use qemu to build a virtual machine. Then you
can install Windows in that. Benefits include: faster and better Windows
performance with greatly reduced risk of crashes, booting only a single OS
(no dual boot issues), and now having faster, larger disk storage.

Regards,

Rich
