Be aware that you won't be able to do an in-place upgrade between Vista and Win10, you'll need to make a system backup, and then do a fresh format + fresh install of Win10, and then re-install your programs, and then restore / re-copy your data files back. Hopefully you have an SSD for the OS drive, as that will make things more bearable, especially if you bump up against the physical RAM limit and have to spill over to the pagefile.Įdit: You could try manually force-installing the Win7 64-bit video driver in Win10, some people have success doing something like that for 'unsupported' video chipsets in Win10.Įdit: But yeah, anything is basically better than Vista. Under sound video and game controllers there was Conexant Smart Audio HD and some Nvidia virtual audio device. Given that, and the minimal amount of RAM (4GB is minimal these days, on craptops, although probably maxed-up on your motherboard), I would try to limit my multi-tasking usage, and limit the number of tabs on your browser to 10-12 or so. Only Speakers (Conexant Smart Audio HD) under audio inputs and outputs. Conexant SmartAudio HD and Windows 10 no sound I need a simple fix for this.

I was assuming the Skype update caused the problem, but it may well have been the Win 10 install. It may not perform that well, and things like Skype may not work well with it, as well as full-screen YouTube playback, as all display updating and scaling would be done in software on the drivers, rather than on the hardware, and with a CPU that old (compared to modern rigs), there may not be that much CPU to go around. Skype update resolves issue to keep my conexant hd audio. However, even if unsupported, it should show up as 'MS Basic VGA Display Adapter', and at least, allow you to use Windows on it. This package installs the software (Conexant Audio Software) to enable the following device.

Your situation, if you have Intel X3100 graphics, I don't think that Windows 10 specifically supports that, even Sandy Bridge iGPUs are barely supported, so that goes back even further in the stack. I think that the OS itself proper should run OK, with 4GB of RAM and a 64-bit capable CPU.Īs for drives, for my Q9300 rigs, they were desktops with P35 chipsets, so they needed a discrete GPU regardless. Anyways, I've never installed Win10 on anything quite THAT old, though I have installed it on a couple of Core2Quad Q9300 rigs.
