HD 5450 and win 10, any advice?

Cixoos · 17 Mar 2017

I have a media pc running win 7 64 bit with hd5450 i was planning to update to win 10.

A quick google left me with the impression that the 5450 was problematic with win 10?

Anyone have it running?

Drivers for it are Legacy for long time now but they do exist for W10: Legacy

What is "other stuff" ? many things work straight with windows and some can also use W7 drivers.

well, i have this esata lian li cabinet and and a 2.4g rf remote those are the main things im worried about.

Could always image the disk and just try it. Have been planning to do it since win 8 came out but since its not broken..and theres always other machines to keep updating.

If you're familiar with disk imaging then it won't hurt to try it. I've heard that in some cases Windows 10 can return improved performance on older hardware so it would be interesting to hear your verdict.

eSATA shouldn't be a problem but that remote could be.

yes, I remember getting that remote since at the time it was the only option to turn on the machine. I dont know if there's a ir receiver now that could do the same?

I have just set up a new intel nuc Baby Canyon and programmed a remote (nevo c2) for it would be best to get that working also. But have not looked at ir receivers capable to turn it for years.
