In addition to Chipset (as rindi notes), also be sure you update BIOS. <br />
<br />
Then, there are no guarantees that a given Windows 7 computer will run Windows 10, so if the ideas above do not help, then you may need to keep the computer at Windows 7. &nbsp;This has happened to me.

<div>
Actually on the Dell site it says that the PC has been tested with Windows 10, so there should not be any issue there.

Hi rindi, thank you for the long answer! I was reluctant to do that as it will mean I will lose all my files. I guess that is the doomsday approach, but know what you mean. I never do an upgrade - wish had not done this one! I will try that Saturday. Just found a 'legacy' option in device manager but it is not working with my drivers on the W7 Original set up disk. <br />
<br />
I read that it should work (Dell) with W10 and that the AMD had been adapted for use. It is driving me insane! I &nbsp;have done a restore after deleting the device driver as I kept getting the memory message and a reboot!<br />
<br />
Will try as you say in the morning. I guess I can use magical jelly beans to get my reg key. <br />
<br />
Part of me is thinking if I should try and find a 3 output low profile GPU that is W10 compliant. I looked to upgrade my i3 to an i7 (assumed its a case of find exact one, and then just unplug and swap in). Doubt that was causing this issue, but I guess it could be. Tests seem to be on i7s<br />
<br />
Thanks again rindi!<br />
<br />
John - Thank you! I did a chipset and bios update using Dell auto detect. I am also running iolo 'system mechanic' and it keep finding drivers that need adding, but W10 seems to just over write them!<br />
<br />
Cheers again!<br />
<br />
PS. There was a link that seemed to work for someone - just not me! W10 seems to have changed as somethings people think you can do (e.g when disabling driver updates) - just don't exist!<br />
<br />
PPS. Just found this - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEm48exQwNk" rel="ugc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEm48exQwNk</a>&nbsp;- more to try!

Loosing files should never be a problem, as you have backups. You don't need the product key. Windows 10 is already activated and the PC registered with the m$ servers. Just do the installation without entering the key. never use 3rd party driver managers. Download them directly from the Dell (or AMD) site and install them manually. Many of those 3rd party driver managers are actually mal- or Ad-ware and of no practical use.

<div>
&gt;&gt; &nbsp;iolo 'system mechanic' and it keep finding drivers that need adding &nbsp;&lt;&lt; &nbsp;i threw it off my system, since it does just that : finding drivers - even when all are up to date<br />
i consider it nearly malware
</div>


<div>
Reluctant option rindi but the performance is amazing. Decided to scrap the Radeon and just use the MB display ports. It's not a gaming PC and that card is very old. Thanks again for the help!
</div>


<div>
It depends a little on which internal intel GPU your system has, there are models which are slower, others that are faster than the AMD. The intel hd2000 &nbsp;and hd2500 are probably a little slower, while the hd3000 and hd4000 are probably at least as good as the AMD, probably a little better.
</div>


<div>
Thanks! I shall try and find out which I have! Really appreciate the help!

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
Upgraded from W7 Pro to W10 and having major problems. Have done various system restores. <br />
<br />
Prior to upgrade I had three monitors connected as DVI and VGA to an AMD Low Profile Graphics Card &amp;&nbsp;1 connected via a USB VGA.<br />
<br />
W10 report showed no problems... more fool me!<br />
<br />
I have read pages and pages over last 18 hours and it seems that AMD do a legacy driver. W10 is insistent on using it's 'Basic Driver' which results in two identical screens connected to the graphics card.<br />
<br />
I have found out I can disable driver updates but that has not helped. <br />
<br />
Main error (seen around 50 times) is the Attempted Execute. 9/10 times reboots it fine. Sometime I have to do a system restore. I have run memory checks, HDD checks etc.<br />
<br />
I cannot get the AMD legacy drivers to install. A chap suggested manually adding just a W7 driver and then the rest will pick up itself. That did not work.<br />
<br />
Current position is I deleted the 'Display Driver' and it is just looping with AENEM message over and then rebooting.<br />
<br />
I am desperate for help!<br />
<br />
System I have is:<br />
<br />
Dell Optiplex 7010<br />
Core i3<br />
Win 10 Pro (Licensed) 64 Bit<br />
16GB Ram<br />
<br />
The Graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD5450 - 1GB DDR3 PCI-E HDMI / DVI VGA<br />
<br />
Please restore my faith in Windows! I don't want to have to go back to W7! <br />
<br />
After this first bit I will need to know if I can get the VGA USB to ever work - manufactured in China with no support!

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
