I have been getting 100% legit Win 10 pro keys off of ebay for about $3 a pop for some time now. It is well worth the money for the performance you get from UEFI especially if you are using an SSD. The only real advantage to maintaining Win 7 would be because of familiarity as you are actually at a loss performance wise.

Just curious. In the early 90s I set up a PC that started in dos. Then I ran everything from .bat files. So i would push 1 for windows, 2 for Doom, 3, 4 ,5 to connect to specific BBS's (bulletin board systems) and play games or chat. Awards

What you need to do is update Windows 10 to at least version 1703 then your video card will be seen and you can install the driver. Awards
