I am running a Am3 system with a phenom 2 processor. Trying to install windows 10 onto the system but am having trouble even getting into the bios. I don't have much experience with this platform so any help would be appreciated 

Which phenom II specifically?

And what are your other system specs?

Hello and welcome.

First let start off with listing all the parts on the computer. We do need those.
Then a summation of how you tried to install Windows and what the exact errors are.
Also how the BIOS wont let you in would be good to know too.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
I'm just helping YOU to help YOURSELF!
(The more info you give the easier it is for others to help you out!)

Not willing to capitulate to the ignorance of the masses!

Unfortunately it's a system that was gifted too me so I do not have all the info. other than the processor I know it's an msi 970a-46 motherboard, Radeon 6850 graphics card, 4 sticks of corsair xms ddr3, and I just have a 250g ssd as a temp boot drive. Currently trying to install windows via USB but am not even getting a post screen
