    Where is the Windows 10 compatibility checker?


    Now that Windows 7 support is ending, I'm going to have to move to Windows 10. But the compatibility checker seems to have disappeared from the MS site - anyone here know where it's gone to?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Compatibility problems

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    This issue might be due to corrupted or missing System files.

    I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check.

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer.

    • Now check for the issue.

    Also, I suggest you to check with the compatibility of the program on Windows 10.

    Windows Compatibility Center

    Hope this information is helpful. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

    Windows 10 Compatibility Checker doesn't identify new video card

    I have an e-Machines desktop that was using the on board NVIDIA GeForce 6150senForce 430 graphics card and the Windows 10 compatibility checker identified it as not compatible. I disabled the on board graphics, and installed a GeForce GT 610 PCI card,
    but the compatibility checker won't re-run and identify the new card. The new card appears to be running perfectly. Currently running Windows 7, 64 bit...any suggestions?
