    Windows says my display isn't compatible - but it meets their specs


    The W10 compatibility test says that my graphics card - an ATI Radeon Xpress 200 - is not compatible with Windows 10, but I think it should be - it meets their minimum requirements of DirectX 9 with WDDM 1.0. Any suggestions/ideas please? Cetrtainly the graphics on my current Windows 7 OS seem fine.

    :)

    CPU inadequate for Win 10 upgrade?

    This is a Microsoft issue... it is there spec and they are the ones saying it isn't adequate. Why isn't this CPU adequate since it meets their spec?

    windows phone 7 on lg kp501

    It doesn't. WP isn't available to just install on any old phone. It is licensed by MS to manufacturers to install on handsets designed for it.

    Not to say that folks haven't worked it onto systems outside the normal channels, but you would have to start with a phone that meets at least the minimum specs. The 240 x 400 display kills it for the kp501.

    I'd try and see what happens. Definitely do an image backup first so you can restore back to Windows 7 if there are problems.

    Many thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid I didn't make my problem clear - after telling me my card wasn't suitable it just wouldn't let me proceed with the installation. Any idea how I can MAKE it install Windows 10?

    Are you trying to install Win 10 from the GWX (get Windows 10) offer? I believe that the Media Creation Tool:

    Windows 10

    may not do the same checks. I think that the latest drivers available for the card are WDDM 1.0 (Vista) drivers, but that should, in principle, be OK.

    Let us know how well that works for you.
