Edge is starting to use Chrome add-ons, but they have to be submitted to the Windows Store. So, yet another place to update the app, and I don't believe they can be side-loaded like uBlock:O typically does.
There is no Windows Signature Edition OS. It's a device standard that OEM's agree to not pre-install bloatware and ensure that the hardware will not be throttled down.
Microsoft only demands that the hardware runs at its full potential, so that's why bits of the BIOS were locked. Intel/Lenovo developed a new SATA controller firmware that hasn't been included in any install media yet. This is akin to the Skylake support issues that Microsoft is also having.
Dell even has a page dedicated to ensuring people can re-install 7 on their devices that Microsoft doesn't include drivers for in their install media. http://www.dell.com/support/ar...
This is the exact similar issue that Lenovo is having right now, but their 3rd party support reps (that the original guy from reddit spoke to) do not have the full documentation in their scripts to handle this.
Everything about this points to Lenovo lying. Considering Windows even has issues when trying to install on these systems, it seems more Lenovo/Intel as opposed to Microsoft.
Bonus! But imagine the uproar if a vendor sold new computers with a BIOS that didn't allow the installation of Windows.
That's exactly what this is. Unless you have Windows media that includes this driver baked into it, you won't be able to install Windows. The RAID driver is newer than the available Windows ISOs, therefore it's not included yet.
...It is locked per our agreement with Microsoft."
So says a 3rd party support tech that is only reading the script Lenovo gave them. This is the equivalent of Geek Squad telling you that you can't install a 3rd party ROM on your Android device because there isn't an option for it in "Settings".
Except, it's not Microsoft doing this.
If you were to try and re-install Windows, it would give a driver error as well. It's a Lenovo issue through-and-through.

Dell does not officially support Windows 10 on the Inspiron 14Z, so why should Microsoft? They didn't build the hardware, they didn't write the firmware, they didn't sell the product.
You can care less? Wow...I thought/. was a place of people who couldn't care less about Windows...
What prompted you to join this discussion that has no importance to you?
Ideally, these wouldn't be put in hospital rooms or hotel rooms, but out in the hallways and common areas.
Sounds more like bad infrastructure management.
It's a security/administrative nightmare...

Please, read what's below the headline...I know that the site's compromise has been fixed and has nothing to do with the OS.

But it appears I will have to go with a adblocker now.
Careful, most only remove the div/object from sight, they don't stop them from actually downloading.
Then how come this Signature Edition issue only arose with this specific device and not other Signature Edition laptops?

It's not the disk itself, it's the controller between the disk and the rest of the system.

If you look at the title, he's complaining about Microsoft, not Lenovo.
It also prevents Windows from being installed. Funny...
This is the same solution for Windows 10, but when Apple does it, it's ok?
Source on those?
Dell does not officially support Windows 10 on the Inspiron 14Z, so why should Microsoft? They didn't build the hardware, they didn't write the firmware, they didn't sell the product.
Reports like where? Please provide legitimate sources to your claims.
If you've gotten those machines back up and running, they're not bricked.
Why not not upgrade now?
Yup, that's the thing about beta (Insider) builds...they can break.
You can care less? Wow...I thought /. was a place of people who couldn't care less about Windows...

Your computer won't get "bricked". There are no reports of a computer getting "bricked" due to Windows 10. Please stop with the FUD.
Ah, yes...another person suggesting the installation of a security/stability nightmare...
