If you try doing the "update drivers" and "have disk" method to install the newest available drivers for your card (the Windows 7 drivers ought to install and work through that method) and you can't get those drivers to work there is also a "roll back" feature (in the device properties window...

Hi Andi, The nvidia "setup" installation for that driver never worked in any edition of Windows 10 and there is no driver setup for your laptop that does but after it fails you should still be able to do an "update driver" from within the properties page of your display adapter in device...

Hi Warren, I'm actually somewhat surprised that you're a noob who knows which graphics card and motherboard you have but are having trouble working through the process of using "update driver" to manually install a driver for your card. Although the wizard looks a bit different these days and...

Assuming you really do have the exact same model laptop with the same hardware options and you are upgrading an older existing 64-bit Windows version to the 64-bit version of Windows 10, this is the link to the genuine nVidia driver that works...

Sounds like either whichever video player you're trying to use doesn't like windows 10 or doesn't like your display driver version, or the specific driver you chose is having problems, your card is overheating, or you might have a bad ram stick. Remember, just because something works in one OS...

Re: nvidia geforce go 7900 gs windows 10 will not install because of compatibility Since you have a desktop, unless your motherboard has an AGP slot which I doubt but it's possible, if your motherboard has a PCI-e video/graphics card slot you CAN upgrade your graphics card to a more current one...

Re: nvidia geforce go 7900 gs windows 10 will not install because of compatibility So he can spend like $3 more per card and get a pair of the 200 series cards instead although even the desktop version 8 Series cards do appear to have much newer drivers available that nvidia forum users say...

UPDATE!!! I used the "Update Driver" button in the display driver properties window, selected "let me choose..." used the "have disk" button, browsed to where the NVidia Go 7 Series installer had unzipped all the driver files, chose the folder with all the .inf files in it, clicked the "open"...

Tried that strategy already, here's how it went... (Note that "7 series" does not refer to the current 700 series cards, it means the old 7000 series cards.) On the nVidia website drivers search area Windows 8.1 doesn't appear in the OS list for these cards at all, Windows 8 ("just 8") does...

Hey Ted, thanks for the info but have you used that driver with the Go version of the 7 series cards on a laptop in Windows 10 or the desktop version? If you got it to work on a laptop, which Go 7xxx-xxx card do you have? The 30x.x series drivers are intended for the regular 7 Series (desktop)...

Re: nvidia geforce go 7900 gs windows 10 will not install because of compatibility So if you have one 7900GS now, how are you running 3 monitors? Most cards can only feed dual ports simultaneously even if they have 3 actual ports. From the looks of things chances are very slim that you (or...

Yes, tried all that, it was no help. Windows 10 installed a generic "microsoft basic display adapter" driver during the upgrade which at least gave me a functional Windows 10 installation on this older hardware although it had the desktop locked at a maximum of around 1024x768 with >250% zoom...

Yes, it says I already have the most current driver for my hardware. :( That's what I'm hoping for although they have not done it so far. Time will tell...

Hey Zack, Thanks for the reply and the suggestions but yes I'm 99.999% sure about the driver issues I'm faced with at this point because your GTX 770 (which I suspect is probably in the ballpark of about 1-3 years old at the most) is not what nVidia refers to as a "7 series" card and the nVidia...

I have a Dell Inspiron E1705 (yes I know it's old...) with the 2.16GHz Core2Duo CPU, optional WUXGA "Ultra-Sharp" 1920x1200 17" screen and nVidia Go 7900 GS video card, Bluetooth, A/B/G WiFi option, HD Audio with subwoofer, 2x2GB dual-channel RAM, and I forget the rest... About 2 years ago I...
