Incompatible hardware

The Get Windows 10 app reports that my PC doesn't meet the system requirements because my graphics card is incompatible.

But I know it works, I've installed the tech preview on a separate hdd and it works with no issues at all.

My question is;

Will Windows 10 still download and install even though the app is reporting this problem?

The Reservation App indicates I have incompatible hardware (ie. CPU, Bluetooth, Video Card, Printer) and/or software, what should I do?

You can check the software developer and hardware vendor for the latest updates before performing the upgrade.

UPDATE: Please review the following article by Barb Bowman (Microsoft MVP) for solutions to this problem.

Is my graphics display or Bluetooth device compatible with Windows 10? The readiness report showed it was not.

Even though you might get this message, you can always run Windows Update after installing Windows 10 and download the latest driver.

I recently installed Windows 10 on an HP Elitebook to see how well the most recent Windows 10 build performs. The Elitebook is a fairly recent model notebook which includes an assortment of hardware technologies. Out of the box though I did not get a complete system, for instance the Intel HD Graphics 3000 was not detected and I was instead limited to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Apart from this, I had wi-fi ready, which meant, I could connect to the Internet right away.

Installing drivers through Windows Update

Windows Update is the premier starting point to resolve most common driver issues you might experience immediately after installing Windows 10.

Simply launch it from Start > Settings > Update and Security and click Check for Updates

or

Press Windows key + R

Type: wuapp

Hit Enter

Click Check for updates (make sure you have an active Internet connection).

Immediately, Windows Update will detect your system configuration and download all the appropriate drivers for your system. As you can see in the above screenshot, my Intel HD 3000 Graphics was installed automatically. I did not even have to reboot the system. In addition to that other hardware components were also detected and installed which includes my LAN adapter and card reader.

I am having the same issue. I got the message and bought a new graphics card and installed it last night. The error is still showing my old graphics card. I cancelled my reservation thinking I could reserve it again and force it to check my system again. No luck and it is saying I have to by a new PC. Is there a way to force it to check the system versus waiting a month?
