Microsoft is offering a FREE upgrade to Windows 10 for one year. If you have Windows 7/8 you can get the upgrade free.
I have upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and so far I do like it, it boots faster and operates faster and is more user friendly then Windows 8.1. Again it depends on your system on the speed . Run the upgrade advisor: http://www.intowindows.com/download-...grade-advisor/ |

Once it upgrades to Windows 10 you cannot revert, unless you have a DVD with the full install on it.
You need to go to your motherboard manufactures page and see if there is a later graphics driver listed. |

In device manager, right click on the Graphics item then to properties. Under driver it will give the date. It also tells you device name so you know the model.
Now go to the manufactures page and see if there is a later one. |

I went to manufacturers web page but couldn,t see it listed ,there were many but what I was looking for Intel(R)G33/631 express chipset family 23.9.2009 vers 8.15. 10.1930 Motherboard Gigabyte G31M-ES2L.I hope I was looking for the right component, i found it under Device manager,display.Does it follow that if I get the necessary part it will slot in like a card and disable the present one which is built into the motherboard.In getting this up todate component does it mean it will solve the compatability problem in going to Windows 10?

Your Gigabyte motherboard does not support Windows 10. You may try the Windows 7 driver but it may not work: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/pro...1&RWD=0#driver

Don't seem to have a windows.old folder,also what is iso? |

you will only see the windows.old folder after you upgrade. However, without that windows.old folder, you will not be able to revert so you will have to install from scratch if you decide against win10.
an iso is an image of a dvd that is used to create a mirror copy. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsi/g/isofile.htm |

The "revert back" option appears to only be good for about 30 days. And when you revert back may run in some problems, like programs not working. These will have to be reinstalled or repaired, not all users have experience this.
Your motherboard has a PCI Express x16 slot. Your Graphics is built (intergrated)into the chip. Appears Gigabyte has not published a Windows 10 driver yet for your graphics, so you either wait until they do or you get a separate graphics card and disable the on-board. I did find a possible Windows 10 driver here: http://www.driverscape.com/manufactu.../g31m-es2l/106 |
