(SOLVED) Issues installing Windows 10

<< < (2/4) > >>

Boggin:
I think this mainly affected GeForce and in the closing days of the run up to the 29th, MS released a Nvidia graphics update.

I'm not sure if this was all their own work or in collaboration with Nvidia, but I've seen on another forum that Nvidia put out its own update later, but the Win 10 upgrade removed that as it will do for anything it considers either not up to date or incompatible.

If you installed that update then see if uninstalling it and then see if the Win 10 update works - I've noticed from other forum posts that after Win 10 had installed, it would almost immediately download other updates which could address any failings in its smooth running.

This is only a guess but problems with graphics drivers can cause all sorts of problems.

I see that Nvidia Experience has a driver download for compatibilty with Windows 10.... but I have yet to download that.

I am working with my old drivers. I have 353.30 installed and the new driver available is 353.62. I dunno...

Maybe trying downloading the new driver?

It is just so painful if that windows 10 installation goes south.... It make everything unstable.... System freezes...the whole nine yards.....

8.1 pro is blazing right now.... I had to mess it up  :confused:

If 10 has better performance like they boast... I see it being worth it... I just canttttt even install it.

Boggin:
Perhaps downloading the driver first may do it because if you have an incompatible graphics driver then that could easily baulk the install whichever way you do it - don't have that problem with AMD (yet ?).

Shane:
Every single system I have updated has been amd machines and havent had a single one fail yet. The ones that have been failing have been the nvidia ones, and it is driver related.

This is the problem with every new OS, the lack of good drivers, happened with vista and 7 as well.

So you could just uninstall the nvidia drivers and install 10 and then grab the newest drivers for 10, or you can try updating them first.

Personally I always remove anything that can cause a problem, so if I have a crap driver I will just remove it and worry about putting new drivers on it after the upgrade :-)

Ok I will do that this evening then....

#1. Create Restore Point (cause its running unbelievably fantastic)
#2. Uninstall the nvidia drivers
#3. Attempt to install Windows 10


Is it alot better than Windows 8.1?
