Re: Dell E5470 custom bios issue

Looks like I remembered incorrectly and windows autopilot was released in 2018. So again, why don't you just try Windows home instead of Pro to be sure what you are dealing with

Thanks so much for your time guys

I will try windows home today Rethorical, i do want to see if this is a fix...i will update here

I want to also test the new bios aswell, just confirm if the problem is contained within the bios

I will get this installed over weekend, cant wait to se if this works.
Really interested in how to change bios settings...especially for removing unknown passwords, and adding new serial numbers etc..
any help where to start would be appreciated what apps to use etc..

Thanks

Update: Installing windows 10 home did not make any difference, still forcing connection to the server.

new bios.

If it doesn`t work you can force the PCH to accept the new ME firmware settings by running flash programming tool from the command line

FPTW64.exe -greset

Re: Dell E5470 custom bios issue

Hi

I had just finished flashing the first bios file you uploaded SMDFlea, and it worked fine
IT now allows me to select "I dont have Internet", and setup with a normal local account

I can also access the bios without issue

Is there any need to reflash with todays updated bios file

or am i good to leave as is ?

Leave it as-is now its AOK .I thought you had tried the bios i previously posted and it wasn`t working.

Re: Dell E5470 custom bios issue

Hi m8, no i wanted to confirm if installing windows 10 home would bypass the server issue first, just for future reference and knowledge. But tha gave same result

I then flashed the bios and it worked first time

Thanks so much for your input guys..very much appreciated, hoping to learn a bit more about the subject so i can possibly contribute. Any guidance welcome

In that case indeed, you were right. Not autopilot.
