Compatible Win 10 Driver for the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics card. Pavilion TX1000?

[9secure]

Havemanaged to keep my old TX1000 laptop running smoothly on Win 8.1 and would like to upgrade to Win 10. Windows 10 assesment states that it is unable to upgrade the system without a compatinle driver for the video card , a NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150. Any new drivers available? I have checked HP Support and the Nvidia site for recent drivers that indicate they are Windows 10 compatible without any luck. I would appreciate any advice, Thanks!

There is, unfortunately, a limit to just how far forward one can bring an older generation chipset and graphics solution, in terms of Windows operating systems.  It is extremely likely that HP will expend the manhours required to produce a Windows 10 driver for your notebook. HP is not obligated to support your notebook at the service life stage your notebook is in.

 I wish I had better news for you, but reinstalling Windows 8.1 appears to be your best option.

Hi:

Please see this post and see if my solution works for your model too...the graphics adapter is the same.

Your model has the same driver file number on the support page as this one did.

Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately I was unablr to get it to install. Windows determined that the best driver is already installed and I was unablr to force the install. With Win  8.1 running on the laptop currently it seems odd that Windows 10 will not install.

I appreciate your support but realize I may be stuck. It is a "vintage" machine and I'm not dissatisfied with 8.1. It's just fun to see how far I can push it. Thanks again!

You're very welcome.

Sorry that suggestion didn't work for your model.

Yes it is odd that the driver didn't work from W8.1 to W10, but I had the same thing happen to me with the SMSC infrared driver on my old nc6400 notebook.

The driver from windows update works fine for XP through W8.1, and on W10 it installs, but the device still has the ! mark.

Fortunately for me, I was able to go into the BIOS and turn the infrared port off and that took care of the problem since I don't use the infrared port for anything.

It is definitely fun to see how far forward or backward you can go with installing operating systems.

I was really hoping that driver would have worked since it was for the exact same gpu.

Hi:

I have one other idea for you to try if you haven't done so already.

Download the file again.  Right click on it and select Properties.

Then click on the compatability tab.

Check the 'Run this program in compatability mode' box and select Vista SP2.

Click Apply, Click OK, and see what happens.

Worked great for me on Compaq Perario.

Thanks, this worked for me and the driver has installed in compatibility mode.

However, Windows 10 update still saying my graphic driver is not compatible with Windows 10.

Any suggestions?

My notebook is HP-DV-9420-us with Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 (AMD processor)
