Wynona, I tried just now and after the machine looked around the web for several minutes, I got the message that "You have the latest driver installed". I also went to the AMD driver download site and they don't have the Win 10 driver either and the latest Win 8.1 driver is older than the one I already have.
Most likely, then, Windows has already installed the new driver.
Go to Settings>Update and Security>Advanced Options>View your Update History. There you'll find a listing of installed (and failed) updates. Look for "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. driver update for AMD Radeon [HD 8570D] (yours will most likely be different).
When I looked at mine, I saw that the AMD update had failed at least twice, but it worked when I asked for an update from Device Manager, which doesn't show in Windows Update.
That's driver from WU, it got downloaded on second try AFTER 10122 update. Device manager under Display Adapter shows 15.200.1023.3
Driver Packaging Version in CCC under information/ software shows 15.20-150514a1-180730E-ATI
Wynona, I've kept a close watch on installed updates. In fact, the ONLY updates I've had since 10122 installed are Windows Defender updates.
Microsoft obviously favors CountMike over you and me!!!
I'm using a pretty mundane, run of the mill, over the counter computer parts, nothing fancy or overboard. That way it's most likely to have appropriate drivers that are essential for OS to work. Couple of years old components give MFG plenty of time to fix bugs and get most of HW. Laptops and brand name mfgs always do something to make them different from others and that may present problems. You get pretty well stuck with their good will to support something of theirs older than a year or two but in their interest is for you to buy new stuff.
I hadn't thought of that before, but you're probably right. I would like to change some of the defaults of this HP desktop, but HP has the BIOS locked down tighter than a drum! And I'm sure they've done the same with the hardware inside. I can't even find a place to add a hard drive!
Last time I'll buy "off the shelf"! From here on out, it'll be a new build for me with two generations back (what I've always done) parts. Best of all worlds.
