Product: h8-11200
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Recently Dec 2021 I had to restore to windows 7 as windows 10 upgrade killed my sound card and nvidia drivers. The PC was running great up to that point and it would not let me roll back drivers. It looks like Windows 11 is currently not supporting my processor. 

 

My question is it it worth upgrading my sound card and video card to one that will work with windows 10? I am thinking windows 11 may eventually support my motherboard/processor. 

 

Its still a great PC and thought I might give it to my daughter. The cost of upgrade may be more than it is worth however. I don't see a way to get my sound and video cards to work any longer on windows 10 without installing an older version of 10 and disabling windows updates?

 

Any advice?

Hi:

 

I'm surprised that W10 didn't work on your PC with the existing hardware.

 

Did you install the W10 Realtek audio driver from the Realtek site to see if that gets the sound to work?

 

PC Audio Codecs > High Definition Audio Codecs Software - REALTEK

 

Nvidia has W10 drivers for the GT530 graphics adapter...
