hdmi not working after upgrade to windows 10

Well, if you see AMD drivers listed by HP for your machine, download those instead of the ones from AMD.

DDU is a tool used to uninstall the drivers and then clean out the remains.

no new drivers or anything for that matter for my dv6-3240ca.

the ones on HP website are from years back.

and they dont work.

havent tried cleaning up with DDU and then reinstalling those on HP website (from years back).

frankly not worth the trouble for a hdmi use only pc.

dv6-3240ca seems like an old product, unfortunately. HP hasn't had drivers for it since Windows 7 by the looks of it. Not sure those drivers would work on Windows 10 anyways.

For those with newer laptops, you can still give it a shot by looking for the drivers on the HP site.

Alas! The epithany...

AMD/HP/Microsoft (actually the industry) -  Extra Extra Read all about it... Legacy products have been used to the extent of their full usefull life!    Step up and get a new operating system for FREE (ha ha).   Really???  

Start buying hardware again.

Kill the legacy era and treat everyone the same in the free market place.  Drivers? We didn't promise anyone any stinking upgrade drivers. 

Get it ---Move along droids... nothing to see here. 

Your warranty is used up.

Who knows, maybe HP will get around to releasing newer drivers for your older machines once they roll them out to the newer ones first.

However, for laptops that didn't even have Windows 8 drivers released, I wouldn't be so optimistic.

I with you, Ken.  Just checked and still don't see *any* Windows 10 drivers for my dm4t-1000.  The graphics drivers on my sight say they were last updated August 7th 2015, but say nothing about Windows 10 compatibility.  And I already tried those on Windows 10 previously with no success.

I'm so frustrated that I'm expected to buy a new PC every 2-3 years just so I can keep pace with driver and OS advancements.  It's so wasteful and time consuming!

requirement of being up to date depends on end use. i know some of us like to be up to date regardless 😉

if u dont do demading gaming or other processing work, there is usually no need to update.

u can simply stay on 7 until, and perhaps even after, 7 support is gone. by then u for sure wud need a tablet.

for me this is my last pc, laptop or desktop.

i wud run a hdmi out of a tablet next, and perhaps forever.

I understand that for pavilion dv6-3123er the driver yet?

[dmat86]

The dv6-3123er doesn't appear to have the W10 drivers from HP yet.

Using a new download (today) of Win 10 upgrade files, I installed Win 10 again. Now running with the same issues as before, so nothing has been solved.  I'm in doubt  what to do next.  Will it be useful to make now a Win 10 installation stick to install Win 10 much later when better updates are available? In meantime I roll back to my old OS.
