ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series Compatibility Issue with W.7 to 10 upgrade reservation

W.10 app for reservation upgrade says the "ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series" is NOT compatible for reserving an upgrade to W.10.

However, when I followed the search to solve the issue it took me thru an 8.1 upgrade compatibility search and that said the "ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 Series" WAS compatible.

How do I solve this apparent contradiction? Or what do I need to upgrade to be compatible for a W.10 upgrade?

 

ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series

So as a computer tech, you like to take risks right? I was told by the "Get Windows 10" program on my Windows 7 eMachines computer that I couldn't upgrade to 10 due to "ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series: Your display doesn't work." So
I eventually went to Microsoft's site and got a Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation 90-day and installed it. I had it update as much as possible. Once all the updates at the time had finished, I went through to see what all was updated and I noticed that my display
updated to the "Unsupported" driver "ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series." So I installed some games, programs, etc that I sometimes use for testing new updates on my computer. I played those games, I worked on those programs, I sometimes did both. My computer was
running at top speed (No lag) all the time without conflict. I do wish to see this driver added to the list of driver compatible with Windows 10.

My computer specs:

Manufacturer: eMachines

Motherboard: Intel

Processor: Intel(r) Pentium(r) 4 CPU 3.00GHz

RAM: 2.00GB (1.87 usable)

System Type: 32-bit

Operating System: Windows 10 Professional*

*The built-in operating system was Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and was compatible with Windows Vista. I upgraded it to Windows 7, then Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation, and finally Windows 10 Professional.

 

Try these steps :
1. open Microsoft Update Catalog in Internet Explorer 6 or newer (will not work on other browser).
2. accept/Yes when prompting to install an add on.
3. type "radeon xpress 200" in the search box of this microsoft update catalog page.
4. it will show many result, but what you need is the one with version "7.14.10.8333" because this is a WDDM which will be compatible with Vista but also with 8/8.1/10
5. download the 2.6MB size if your OS is 32 bit, or the 4.6 MB if your OS 64bit.
6. install this driver manually, if you need the guide please google "install windows driver manually".

good luck.

 

Thanks for the guidance. Worked for my old notebook graphics card. ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 in my Acer 5100 notebook with Windows 10 x64. Much better the Microsoft Basic Display Driver.

 

Hi

I have tried your method but windows says the driver is not compatible. I have a B1900 compaq laptop with a ATI Xpress 200 M card for the graphics running windows 10 on the basic display driver from microsoft.

Is there any solution?

The 200m is a mobile (laptop) graphic controller, and it uses different drivers than the discrete desktop card.

The latest driver that I see at the Microsoft Update archive (32 bit only) is:

Microsoft Update Catalog


I hope that it helps. It's dated from June of 2007. With any luck, it's at least a WDDM 1.0 (Vista) driver.

There's a chance that it's really an XP driver. Vista and 7 could use XDDM (XP) drivers. Windows 10 cannot.

 

Thanking you for your reply

I tried the 2.6mb sized 32 bit driver after removing all previous instances of 64bit drivers that I had tried earlier.

Needless to say that it worked like a charm.

Thanks a million
