Update on the Z800/X5620 test with W7. The first CPU job (A8 core) finished OK, putting Donor z805_W7 on the board with 7,595 points, and now the X5620 appears in the LARS CPU database at 1978 PPD per logical processor. There was a snag with the concurrent GTX1080 GPU client, which hung at 1 second from completion for a day and would not upload results until I killed both clients and reloaded. On the other hand the CPU job had uploaded OK and so had the second GPU job and a core update (still A8). I"ve started another run after the dump and reload just to make sure things are all OK now with Win 7. After that I'll uninstall Fah from the Win7 partition and Z805 can get back to work with W10, with which it has earned 248 Mpoints so far, mostly since I bought the used GTX 1080 on eBay.

Status update: The Toshiba laptop with 6 Gb ram and I7 2630QM 2GHz isn't getting work. (dates from 2014)
The Sony laptop with 6 Gb ram and AMD E-450 APU isn't getting work. (dates from 2009)
The desktop (was custom built by a friend years ago - 2010 ?) with I7-860 2.6GHz and 16 Gb ram is getting occasional small jobs.

The Sony is getting donated to a friend whose 2005 gigantic super tower size Dell desktop keeps shutting off randomly along with other
weird occurrences.
If anyone has an idea about trying to get the Toshiba to be able to get any jobs no matter how small, please advise.
Huge thanks to everyone who has helped me up to now!
