upgraded from win 8.1 Pro to win 10 Pro I started to test my apps all was looking great until I
launched Netflix the video fps sucked, and my second monitor was not working I found the display
settings was using Microsoft display drivers. I went to NVidia website and used auto-detect to
recognize my video card, and it did, no problem ( NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT ) DUAL CARDS
512Mb each I downloaded the Win 10 driver, then received the error message.
This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware ?? I know this system is old
but it still works great, and I was hoping not to buy a new card, any suggestions would be great.
Thanks Emil

Sounds like a compatibility issue between Windows 10 and the old GeForce 9000 cards. I'd put money on the fact that Windows have ended support for them. There is probably nothing you can do other than buy a new graphics card. To be honest, that's a well overdue upgrade anyway.

If you do want to keep using the graphics cards, any previous Windows version or any distribution of Linux would run them just fine.
