Getting the 'get windows 10' app to recognise a change in hardware

[demonix]

This is more in regards to my fathers computer which apart from the graphics card which was a hand me down 6600LE, all the other components were at the time as current as they could be when it was built.

The problem is that according to the get windows 10 app (it's currently on windows 8.1 pro) is now moaning that windows 10 can't be installed because the 6600LE isn't compatible (even though it clearly states on the nVidia website that the card supports directX 9 and windows 10 has a minimum requirement of a directX 9 graphics card) because the manufacturer not supporting it (there isn't a windows 10 driver available for it), so I decided to make it more compatible by replacing the 6600LE for a more modern GT610 however the app is still showing that it's not compatible because of the 6600LE I'd already replaced and I've done everything I could in task scheduler to get it to detect the change.

The question is, should I wait a few more boot ups for it to catch up or should I give that app the single finger salute and burn the windows 10 disc image I'd downloaded a little while after the upgrade went live to a blank DVD and use that to do the upgrade.

I'd reinstall drivers and if that doesn't work you could uninstall and reinstall the upgrade update.

Failing that use the disk to upgrade then do a clean install.

just download the ISO, create a USB stick using the W10 tool and run the setup.exe to upgrade to W10.

make sure W7 is activated before upgrading and then make sure W10 is activated once the upgrade is complete and then your good to go to do a clean install if you want.

you get 30 days to roll back to your previous OS if you dont do a clean install and then it will remove the files
