Optiplex 9010, Bare-Bones system
I have bought a bare-bones system;
Installed i7 CPU
16GB memory
2TB Hard drive
ATI Low Profile Radeon graphics card
On running "Pre-Boot Diagnostics", everything shows excellent. But, on boot, system shows "No memory at required location" message. And nothing I do will change that! Have removed the CMOS battery to return all setting to "Default". But nothing changes! Have had to install Ubuntu to get it to run! I wish to Install Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate, (that I have used since release). And I can make it do anything I want. Any help would be appreciated! My Email= .
Thank You!

Close Enough doesn't count and the EXACT Message is required along with the EXACT amount of ram and the EXACT OS Version and whether or not its 32 Bit or 64 Bit version etc.
No physical memory is available at the location required for the windows boot manager.The system can not continue.
This message indicates a physical hard drive failure or incompatible memory modules or bad motherboard or all of the above.
Well, remove the hard drive then try reinstalling Windows 10 using the following instructions:
Go to a working computer, download, create a boot able copy, then perform a clean install. If it asks for a product key tell it "I do not have one"

You should be able to boot a live copy of Ubuntu with the hard drive removed entirely. 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver is the current LTS version.

Mate,
I would rather stay with Ubuntu, than 10! I do not consider it an operating system! Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate or Ubuntu? I'll stick with Ubuntu. Will send eBay a very negative feedback (seller won't be happy). But no one should sell computers with dead CMOS batteries. Anyway.

Yeah, This is Ubuntu 16.4.3. 7x64, LTS. It'll do for now. (Better system management anyway)
