    external graphics card for laptop to run win 10


    I have a Dell 6000D laptop with radeon X300 on board graphics module. I am currently running Win 7 home premium.
    I ran a test to see if it would run Win 10, the results failed because of the X300. I checked and it has the current driver.
    Is it possible to use a USB graphics card to make it run Win 10?

    :)

  2. Dell Inspiron 1720

    I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate to Win 10 Pro on a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop, and the display doesn't work. The upgrade loaded, and everything else seems to work on the laptop, just no screen. The laptop can't detect it's own display in the control panel,
    it will only detect the external monitor I have plugged in through the VGA port.

    The graphics card is the original that came on the laptop - NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS.

    Is there a driver update that fixes this?

    Windows 10 - Multiple screens of different dpi shows blurry text

    Same problem here.

    Windows 10 Pro 64bits system with Intgrated Intel Graphic card and an NVidia GeForce GTX 850M. At work I have my laptop screen running on 1920*1080 resolution, and a 22" screen running on the same resolution, yet when I move a Windows explorer window to
    my external display it gets all blurry, whereas when I open Windows settings (e.g. device manager) it is clear on the external display but not on my laptop screen.

    I keep on updating my NVidia graphics card drivers to the latest version (according to them adapted for Windows 10), but this doesn't change a thing.

    It would be nice to finally have a definite fix from Microsoft for this issue.

    That thing is ancient. While I suppose it would be possible to use a usb to vga adapter to hook up an external graphics card, Idk how well they work. For the best experience you would want a usb 3.0 port which I know that thing does not have. There is also no guarantee it would pass the test, until I looked just now I didn't even know you could do usb to vga/dvi/hdmi. I am unsure if the test would take a usb graphics card and if it did that doesn't remove the x300 from the computer, you MIGHT be able to uninstall it and get lucky. But the honest to god truth is you should get a new laptop. Even if it were possible it isn't worth it external graphics card for laptop to run win 10 :p

    You can try switching to the Microsoft Basic Display driver:
    I don't have Windows 7 left but this is the basic procedure:
    Open Device Manager from control panel.
    Click on Display Adapters.
    Right click on your display adapter (X300).
    Update Driver Software.
    Browse my computer for driver software.
    Let me pick from a list of device drivers.
    Microsoft Basic Display Adapter should be in the list. You might have to uncheck the Show compatible hardware checkbox and look for it.
    Then try running the compatibility test with the display adapter running from the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver.

    If you get Windows 10 to install under the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter you should be able to manually load the Windows 7 drivers for X300 in much the same way as above but you might have to click have disk and point it to the .inf file for the downloaded drivers.

    Yes, I upgraded to 2 GB years ago. The only Win 10 rejection I has was the X300 video module.

    Does it go ahead if you change the driver to Microsoft Basic Display?

    I never saw "Microsoft Basic Display', at this time of night I can't remember what the choice was, tried whatever it was and it went back to what looked like a 640 display! I went back to the Device Manager and changed it back to X300, I am chicken to try too much since this is beyond my Pay Grade.*Redface
    Thanks for attempting to help.

    Yes, it is ancient, but it runs Win 7 OK. I just keep it around in case my Desktop quits.*cry

  12. Just so you know, I have one of those USB-to-VGA adapters to add another display on my desktop, and the adapter is not seen during the boot process. It only appears after Windows has started and has loaded the "display link" (that's what they call themselves) drivers.

    So, I doubt you could use it as a primary monitor.
