Nvidia and Windows 10 compatibility
I have recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, I have noticed that youtube videos
and internet videos will just not play, and some pages open very slow and I have to click
the refresh button go back and try again or quit.
I tried searching the net for a fix and help with updates etc but have not been able to
correct it.
Something came to mind to contact Nvidia and they told me that my installed graphics card
is not compatible with windows 10 so no drivers or fixes.
My graphics card is: NVIDIA NFORCE SERIAL ATA CONTROLLER (2X) and the motherboard is:
AS ROCK N68-S, and the PC is 32 BIT 64 BIT ready.
I was thinking of trying to replace the card myself but do not have a clue as to which one to
to purchase and compatibility, Nvidia sent me list compatible with windows 10 but there
are loads.
So can anyone tell me what replacement would be suitable with the one I have listed above.
I have just realised form this part of their reply:

I checked and this motherboard has a NVIDIA® GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a processor ,
Windows 10 being a brand new Operating system has new minimum hardware requirements in
order to support all the features and specifications of the new OS, so some older
generation graphics cards are not able to be supported with Windows 10. Unfortunately the
nForce 630a with a GeForce 7025 (This is an onboard graphics controller embedded on an
nForce motherboard) is not supported on Windows 10. The nForce motherboards that
support Windows 10 are listed below for your reference. NVIDIA nForce 730a Desktop
NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI Desktop NVIDIA nForce 760i SLI Desktop NVIDIA nForce 980a/780a
SLI Desktop

I note when they asked for a screen shot of device manager/display adaptors nothing was
showing for nvidia, so it appears that the upgrade wiped anything to do with nvidia off
the system.
Are they telling me that the PC needs a new motherboard, and a new graphics card will not
resolve the problem.
Any help and comments will be gratefully received, many thanks.
