  1. I installed Windows 10 a few days ago, on an older PC that has an on-board Nvidia 6100 processor and pretty well everything went okay but the system crashed a couple of times since. I suspected that the generic graphics driver that Windows installed during installation was causing the issue, as it seemed to happen when i was asking the display to scroll on an Ebay page or do a bit of work. I tried to update the driver in device manager but it just said i already had the most up to date driver. I have now downloaded this driver and it installed okay and is now showing as the installed driver in the device manager. It didn’t require a reboot and I am now hoping that i will not suffer any more crashes in the meantime until I receive a new PCI-e graphics card that does support Win 10.

  2. It just worked out awesome ! Thank you so much. I was upgraded my old celeron d pc to WIN10 from WIN 7.
