(Solved)Nvidia device not compatible with windows 10

<< < (3/4) > >>

Boggin:
I use Win 7 x64 Home Premium but had a short foray into Win 10 but didn't like it - and even less later, when nothing came up in the Start menu so that I couldn't do anything.

At the time I wasn't aware AMD had a driver update for my HD6310 so the display was a little stretched so that I could just about click on the Aero button.

For me, there was nothing I could do better in Win 10 that I couldn't already do in Win 7 and easier.

Oh - and Cortana didn't recognise I was in the UK and using English (UK) language - so much for it knowing all :D

I had to create a MS account to find that out but after doing so, then had to log in to use the laptop which is something I wasn't happy with.

Good to know! I use windows 7 home premium x64 on my main computer, and I mostly just want to experiment and get familiar with windows 10 on my secondary just because it looks interesting. And now there's an hour or more setback because windows 10 failed to install right where the first reboot should've been. Now I have to run windows repair and then redo the installation process, which for me is about an hour or two (to the point I got to anyway) all the while hoping win repair fixed the issue. And I have to be there when it reboots, or else it will automatically boot into my ubuntu partition. Fun fun fun

Boggin:
It may be baulking because of the Nvidia compatibility but you won't be the first to have Win 10 upgrade failures, even with a compatible machine.

Tacotardis42:
I don't think that's the reason because it didn't even complain (that time) and it probably would've stopped me sooner. I could be wrong of course though. The repairs are done now, and I'm running System File Checker (SFC) and checking my file system (Chkdsk) for good measure. Hopefully it will find and fix errors so I can blame the failed install on that :p

Tacotardis42:
This install failed again, but this time it actaully seemed to work, but after reboot it said "It failed but we didn't break anything badly!" and it's because of driver problems. go figure. Next step is to remove non present drivers and other stuff. Hopefully it will work this time....
