Looks Like I'm stuck with Windows 7 |

There's nothing inherently wrong with your 8 year old computer that is preventing the upgrade. It's just with the display driver for your video card. Check with them to see if an updated driver is available, and if it isn't, and if you really want Windows 10, then simply buy a new cheap-arse video card that is Windows 10 compatible. So simple. |

The 7300 LE only has 128 Megs of video memory, that's the issue. You can find plenty of newer NVidia video cards than that dirt cheap. One screw holds it into the socket, pop it out, replace, try again if you really wanna. KNOS won't have an issue with it though. |
