    How did the upgrade fail?
    When I ran the Windows 10 setup from the Windows 7 desktop it said that the video card was incompatible with Windows 10. It allowed me to go forward with the install, but after it finished and the computer rebooted I was back at the Windows 7 desktop. I didn't have time to try and figure that out. I just booted the computer with the Windows 10 USB stick for a clean install which worked fine. There was no problem with the video card doing it that way.
