Windows 8 compatability

[PaulDesmond]

I have found a windows 8 comparability. I can use this to see if my computer will work with windows 10.

It comes up with

Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC

What is this? Is it something I need to turn off?
------------------------------------
What it said was the firm ware would not be compatible with windows 8.1 I assume this would apply to windows 10. Would this be a disadvantage as the name does say Secure.

Also the comparability did not object to the on board graphics chip.

Secure boot is not a requirement to run Windows 8 or 10. It is simply a means whereby the OS, in this case Windows 8 or 10, uses the UEFI secure boot feature, to prevent unauthorized software, or even other operating systems from booting on the computer.

Lack of support simply means the feature is unavailable for use, but you will otherwise be able to use Windows 10 just fine, provided your machine meets the requirements.

Ok but I was expecting the compatibility software to pick up none comparable on board graphics card. This is why I posted a thread in the motherboard section "Upgrade motherboard to GA-F2A68HM-HD2"

Do I need to uninstall or disable any original graphics drivers for the motherboard [Asus M5A78L-M/USB3] or will the software that comes with the GeForce GT 730 do all the hard work for me?

Usually, when installing an add-on graphics card to a system with integrated graphics, the integrated graphics automatically disable in BIOS. If this does not take place automatically, you can manually go into BIOS and disable the integrated graphics device.

Graphics drivers shouldn't load for a device that has been disabled, but you may still want to uninstall the graphics driver package for the old card before installing a new driver package.
