Compaq Presario
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am trying to upgrade to Windows 10 and I get message that current chipset is not compatible with Windows 10. My PC is Compaq Presario with M2N68-LA (NARRA5) motherboard. Is there a graphics card available for this motherboard that is Windows 10 compatible?

You need to burn a DVD to install windows 10. It will by pass the video card check. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 32 or 64 bit. Then after win 10 is installed then install either the 32 or 64 bit video driver http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/82758 64 bit dated 2015 http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/82701 32 bit dated 2015 Good Luck it really really works

"Is there a graphics card available for this motherboard that is Windows 10 compatible?" Well if you are wanting to completely replace the graphics card all together, any graphics card that works with newer Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers should be fine. I am running a Nvidia Gefroce 840m on my HP Envy 17, and had no hiccups. The Geforce 840m is not the highest performance card, so I would recommend getting a better card. My ASUS ROG G20 desktop has an Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 which runs really well, and also had no issues with upgrading to Windows 10.

 

If I were you, upgrade to windows 10, but wait on upgrading the graphics card until more drivers come out for Windows 10. You would hate to buy a card and realize you have to wait a for a driver to come out. As far as I can see on the Nvidia website they provide drivers for Windows 10, but better safe than sorry.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips. Better than investing in a new video card which may or may not work. Although it took a bit of time for the whole process to complete, everything installed and is running well.
