Question Gt 1030 GPU not detecting!

[Spikewulf]

I just installed my gigabyte gt geforce 1030 oc 2gb, into my K410 g645 computer.
it wont show up in my device management, and when I tried to install the drivers
it told me. " Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows "
also said " This graphics driver could not find compatible graphic hardware "

what can I do?

I've upgraded my windows already. can't find the graphics card in my device management.

Help Please....

It will help if you listed your full system specs. Don't forget make and model of PSU.

Have you installed the latest BIOS? Is it legacy or UEFI?

So you have plugged the monitor to the motherboard's output and not to the GPU's, right?
Because otherwise, the card is working.

Legacy BIOS most of the time does not support modern GPUs. They need UEFI BIOS to work properly.

I have my HDMI cable going from the GPU to my TV to see if it would turn on at any point. obviously it hasn't. But, yes my monitors VGA cord is plugged into the motherboards VGA. I can always go into my Bios and switch from Legacy to UEFI. but, i think Ive tried that and it gave me a black screen where it said no operating system or something like that.

ive tried everything been up for 12 hours trying to figure this out and still cant... I donwloaded DDU and tried that and Intel Graphics would still be on there after restart, or after i uninstalled it from DDU. or I would go into device management and uninstall both Intel Graphics and the Intel basic and then try and download my gigabyte geforce gt 1030 oc 2g and still would get a error saying no compatible graphics card.

Only thing I fixed it seems like is that i dont get the error message where it says its not compatible with windows... Im just stuck and have no clue what to do.
