WTF with upgrade
Well I reallowed that upgrade to WindowsX update to happen and then clicked the icon on taskbar to initiate the upgrade. It tells me my nVidia 6800 graphics card isn't up to snuff. Blimy, that card still runs a lot of games at decent res and depth etc. so I figured it'd be a no problem issue. Instead it appears to be the only issue. So much for that pc seeing Win10. Guess it's uninstall that update and then hide it ... again. Wonder if an ATI 4800 is enough as that's second eligible pc I have?

So how can they say "most" pcs will have no problems upgrading? It is currently at DirectX 11. As I already said, it'd likely work sort-of. I'd expect to loose dual- monitors and hardware accelerated video playback plus who knows what else. My "main" pc uses an ATI 4800 series card and I suspect it falls into same catagory. Win 10 will be awhile before I see it I guess cause I ain't going to buy a new system just to run it.

You could try un-installing them then install windows nvidia driver from windows update and see if that works!

An 8400GS would be getting near the end of their supported list. http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/87988 There is a separate driver for the more modern cards. Paul
