Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Upgrade Graphics Problem
I have an HP Desktop with genuine Win 7 Pro. An online check of the Win 10 upgradability of the computer comes up with a failure of the onboard graphics drivers (ATI Radeon Xpress 1150). The graphics do NOT have updated drivers available. This was the only problem listed.
To alleviate the problem, I installed a new Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 Video Card in a PCIe X 16 slot, and installed the drivers. The new video card works great. I ran a test of the computer's performance, and all came back good with Win Aero at 5.3 (range 1.0 to 7.9) and Graphics Performance at 6.7.
All looked good. I then ran another Win 10 upgrade test, and the report came back again with problems with the ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 drivers, though I am NO LONGER using the onboard graphics.
I am assuming I have to somehow disable the onboard graphics, or remove the drivers, or adjust the registry. I further assume that in order to install Windows 10, I have to pass that test. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. I can elaborate at your request.
