Sure. Simply follow my normal installation guide, but replace step 3 with an MS-DOS flash preparation method described here. This method uses an old utility called HP Disk Storage Format Tool, which has been noticed not to work correctly under Windows 10. You will have to find a Windows 7 computer (earlier windows might work too!) to run it.

 

Thank you @High_Voltage! I used a virtual machine tu run windows 7 on windows 10 and the HP tool worked. No problem with EC this time. Now i've to decide wich wifi card to buy. Intel dual band wireless-AC 7260 7260HMW or the Broadcom BCM9435HMB. Any suggestions?

We have seen this several times before. A few people here have faced this error and despite this, their PCs continued to work fine without updating the EC firmware. This means you're probably safe to proceed without having to do anything else.

 

If you still wish to have your EC updated, there could be a way. If I recall correctly, someone has managed to get it to flash under MS-DOS (rather than FreeDOS). You'll have to prepare an MS-DOS flash drive following the original Svl7's instructions, but keep in mind that the application required to do this doesn't work under Windows 10.

Hi @High_Voltage, I've the identical problem, "DOS memory buffer 2 allocate failed". I want to try with a ms-dos flash drive because i don't fell comfortable with the 2.07 EC. Can you link me tue guide to do this? someone managed to solve the problem? I'don't have a secondary gpu but the cd-rom drive. Maybe i can try whitout it. Sorry for my poor english
