It is likely the drivers were not installed correctly when upgrading. This has been a known issue in some Windows 10 builds. You should search your GPU manufacturers website for the latest driver for your card.
I got the app and it told me that my graphics card wasn't compatible so I upgraded my graphics card but the app is still only recognising my old GPU. My PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Is there any way to fix this so that I can upgrade to Windows 10?
Upgrading to that patch is no longer available. The reason for this is because Windows has just released Windows 10, if you want to upgrade it would need to be to that OS. This can be done in your control panel, there will be an option there.
If you are upgrading from an older version of Windows as in 7 or 8 you should lose nothing. If you are clearing off your current OS and installing Windows 10 by yourself then you will lose everything as your files are saved in the Windows "Files Explore". It is recommended to make a backup before doing a clear wipe.
You shouldn't lose anything when upgrading to Windows 10. But it is best to backup any important data, files and folders, to an external hard drive, flash drive, CD disk, before beginning the upgrade.
updating means to bring up a small or joint part of any technology (renovate it),but upgrading in all or many parts of it ,so brings to a new generation. Updating is basically patching the existing software. It might add some new features, but for the most part it is updating to newer, stable, secure code. Example: Windows 7 Updates, which are released every month, this does not give you Windows 8 or 10, it just patches the current operating system and installed components. Upgrading is installing a new version. This is equivalent to upgrading Windows 7 to 8 or 10. A whole new operating system is installed. Same rules apply to all software, not just operating systems.
Windows 10 will not be free. You can upgrade to Windows 10 for free if you're running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, but you'll need to pay for a license if you're running an older version of Windows or if you're upgrading from a free version of Windows 10. You can buy windows 10 be free from: Microprokey
Microsoft have a tool you may run to check hardware compability. In most cases Windows 7 machines may run Windows 10. For the limited free upgrade you will need the Windows 7 activation key. If not advanced user the most practical way would be reinstall Windows 7 and activating that first. You can then download and run the upgrading software from Microsoft websites directly onto your machine without a external media.
In general a cpu upgrade is going to increase the speed of your computer by 5 to 10%.Therefore it'd probably just be 5 to 10% less frustrating.
