        Dear vaman,

        According to Intel spec, the Microcode must be updated for supporting Windows 10 with G3258.
        Due to the policy of Intel is only Z-series chipset support overclocking, Intel locked G3258 overclocking with non-Z series chipset in Microcode.
        If you want to use G3258 with Windows 10, the CPU is not able to overclock with non-Z series chipset.
