I have a current (GTX 1650) Nvidia graphics card with the 1703 Windows 10 build and I cannot install the driver. It says that the driver is not compatible with this version of Windows. What the hell is the problem?

    Hi Mark

    That is a nice graphics card, the problem is it was not around when version 1703 of Windows 10 was released and you need to upgrade Windows 10 to handle that graphics card . ..

    While this may be a pain at the moment, the good news going forward is that card will be compatible with future updates for quite a while, drivers have already been released for that card for version 903 of Windows 10 . . .

    Click the link below, then click 'Update Now' on that page to immediately get 1809 and bring your PC right up to date

    Hi Mark

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    The Windows 10 1703 is significantly outdated and no longer supported by Microsoft.

    is there a particular reason why you have not upgraded to a more recent release such as Windows 10 1809?

    Here are the steps to upgrade:

    Download the Media Creation Tool Now

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

    Right click the MediaCreationTool.exe file then click Run as administrator.

    Accept the End User License Agreement:

    Select the option Upgrade this PC now if you want to upgrade right away,

    Click Next

    Accept the End User License Agreement.

    Wait while Windows 10 setup does one final check to ensure your system is ready.

    Windows 10 setup will check if you have enough disk space. If you don’t, review the following article for instructions how to upgrade to Windows 10 Anniversary Update on a system with limited space:

    Please note, you have the option of choosing what you would like to keep, which includes personal files, apps and settings.

    If you want to perform a new install or just keep your files click Change what to keep. Once you have chosen the desired options, click Install to begin.

    This will be your screen for a little while. During the installation, your computer will restart several times.

    After the first restart, Windows 10 setup will resume. You will notice the setup experience has once again been refined from the previous animated circle. This will be your screen for a while. When complete, Windows 10 setup will restart automatically.

    Sign into your account.

    Wait while Windows 10 completes application updates and post setup tasks.

    That’s it, the Windows 10 Creators Update is installed.You can check Windows Update for latest updates, click Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for Updates.

    How to prepare your computer before upgrading?

    Although updating to Windows 10 version 1703 to 1809 or 1903 is a relatively simple process, similar to a repair upgrade; users should perform some basic pre-requisites before initiating the upgrade.

    If you are finding it difficult to carry out some of the steps described below, please review detailed instructions how to perform them:
