Help modify my ThinkCentre M900 Tiny Q170 for Kabylake?

[chinobino]

@rycyve The problem is that the M900 only ever supported Skylake and never had Kaby Lake support added to any BIOS.

You might want to read this thread as someone did get it to work by combining the BIOS region from a M910 but unfortunately didn’t upload the modified BIOS, although they did say there were several isues.

@IntelModder

For anyone in a similar situation with a Lenovo 100 series board, I managed to get this to work by combining the bios section from a Lenovo M910 (Q270) UEFI update with my vbios settings and the right ME version, and then running it through CoffeeTime.

Once flashed it gave two errors about invalid machine type and serial number. You can correct these by booting an efi shell with AMIDEEFIx64.efi (from the UEFI update package) and entering the data from the label on the machine. UUID can be generated using this program as well.

Currently, one DisplayPort doesn’t function and M2 and Sata drives won’t show up in the bios (although they will show up in windows installer). Work in progress.
