Windows 10: cannot play sims 4 on origin

I just downloaded origin to play the Sims 4 on y new computer but it won't let me launch it. it says my video card cannot run it. to make sure the latest video drivers are installed. how do I install the correct things?

:)

 

The sims 3 or 4? Anyone play them?


I've never played the Sims 4, but the Sims 3 is a lot of fun. I quite enjoyed the funny moments and building a house and such. Sims 3 is also open world whereas Sims 4 has loading screens for different areas. With both having their pluses and minuses, I don't think you can do wrong with either.
