RADEON HD 4650 Card Not Supported For Win 10?

As the OP suspects (and according to AMD) the 4650 (HD4000 series) is not supported under Windows 10...

That said the OP "could try" the Windows 8 drivers. But as Windows 10 progresses the old Win 8 drivers trick (using Win 8 drivers where no Win 10 drivers existed) may no longer work.

Good luck.

As for what card that depends on your budget and PC - Here's a Amazon search - Amazon.com: amd graphic cards - Computers Accessories: ElectronicsAMD graphic cards. Something like a 560 or 570 may work.

 

AMD Radeon HD 3450

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



As per the device manufacturer’s support site, the graphics card is not designed to support Windows 10, the drivers for ATI Radeon HD 3450 graphics card are available only up to Windows 8, you can try with installing
AMD Catalyst software Suite for Windows 8/8.1 in compatibility
mode and see if it helps.

• Right click the applications installation file (exe), select
  Properties andgo toCompatibility
  Tab.
  
• Select the appropriate options from the list.
  
• Click Apply/OK.
  
• Right Click the file and select the
  Run as administrator option to install.
  

I also suggest to check in device manager if the PC has integrated graphics or get in touch with the device manufacturer to check the same. You can also get the complete device specifications by entering the System Service tag
Here.



Hope the information is helpful.
