Norbi📷<p>It worked👍<br><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxmint</span></a> running on my 15 years old HP laptop w/o UEFI complained about an BIOS error and suggested to ask the BIOS vendor for fixes.<br>I found the BIOS software for this model which required windows to run.<br>Hmmmm🤔<br>This morning I saw a post mentioning <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/reactos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reactos</span></a> and I thought: wow, lets try it.<br>After several crashes I removed the mouse, disconnected the second monitor but put the USB stick with the BIOS software in the second USB slot and booted <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/reactos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reactos</span></a> from the first.<br>I was finally able to update the BIOS successfully😁<br>The software came as an .exe file. It contained another .exe file. I unpacked it with <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/ArchiveManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArchiveManager</span></a> into a subdirectory so that the directory structure incl. Insydeflash.exe was visible. Put all on an USB stick and called Insydeflash directly. Success👍😁</p>

Looking on <a href="https://reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install-reactos-and-run-any-software-compatible-with-windows-on-it" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">reactos.org/faq/#can-i-install</span><span class="invisible">-reactos-and-run-any-software-compatible-with-windows-on-it</span></a> I found "Can I install ReactOS and run any software compatible with Windows on it?<br>Probably yes. However we highly recommend to check first if your favourite app runs in ReactOS. ReactOS is still an on-going project and not all the apps and drivers runs perfect on it."</p><p>Are any of our <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> / <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> friends involved in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ReactOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReactOS</span></a> able to share experiences please?</p>

Brad Linder<p><strong>ReactOS 0.4.15 brings audio, memory, security, and plug and play improvements (Open source Windows-compatible OS)</strong></p><p>ReactOS is a free and open source operating system designed to be compatible with Windows software and drivers. While it’s been under active development since 1999, the operating system is still missing a lot of basic features (like automatic updates, printing, a task scheduler, hibernation support, and multi user support).
