    Window 7 to Window 10 - incompatible Graphics card - how to fix


    I am trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 - I got an error message indicating my Intel HD Graphics 4600 was not compatible with the upgrade so display would not be correct. How do I fix this issue and continue with the upgrade?

    :)

    7 Home > 10 Upgrade Failed - Graphics Card Incompatible


    This morning I clicked the 10 icon and got this. Never got this screen before. Maybe it fixed itself.

    Upgrading to Win 10 - after upgrading incompatible graphics card


    I've managed to upgrade some of my home PC's from Win 7 or Win 8 to Wn 10 without any significant problems, but I am having major difficulty upgrading one of my PC's.

    It is running Win 7 Home 32-bit and when I originally ran the Windows 10 upgrade advisor, it indicated that I could not upgrade as my NVidia GEForce 6600 graphics card was incompatible with Windows 10.

    I tried various workarounds, using suggestions on this and other sites, to upgrade with the GEForce card but none were successful. So I purchased and installed a new graphics card - an AMD Radeon R7 240, which should be Win 10 compatible.

    I then re-ran the Win 10 upgrade advisor - it still said that I couldn't upgrade as the "GeForce 6600 card" was incompatible - even though it was no longer installed!

    I checked the Device Manager and the graphics card was clearly showing as being the AMD card. I then explicitly uninstalled any NVidia drivers/software using the Control Panel/Program uninstall - still unable to upgrade to Win 10. I also ran the Wagnard tools "Display driver uninstaller" and removed any NVidia software/drivers - still unable to upgrade. I am using the latest drivers from the AMD website.

    I also tried to upgrade using the Media Creation tool and a Win 7 image from DVD (previously this also failed to work and gave the incompatible graphics card error); this seemed to work up to a point, but after a reboot it wanted me to select a keyboard layout but neither my usb keyboard nor mouse would function and the installation froze. On rebooting the OS reverted to Win 7 (and the keyboard/mouse worked ok).

    I want to upgarde to Win 10 rather than do a fresh install, but am now unsure what to do - I keep getting the "Incompatible GEForce graphics card" message anytime I run the Win 10 advisor tool (even after downloading it again from the MS website).

    Any suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue and finally upgrade?

    Window 7 to Window 10 - incompatible Graphics card - how to fix

    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
