When I was looking, that file was suggested for Win 7. However, there's no harm in trying it. I'm using a GTX 560, which is legacy these days. I use an older driver because both NVIDIA and Radeon dropped hardware acceleration support in their drivers for legacy cards about 3 years ago. I can go to later cards but it looks like the GTX 10 series and later is not very viable. Of course, I'm not using the extended kernal.

Are you able to use the 1030? If so, which driver did you use?

I think we've done the best we can to get a driver for Vista. Best you can do is try one of them.

GTX 750 would work. You can find one of those used on Ebay pretty cheap.

Why are you running 32 bit Windows if your processor is 64 bit? (also 64 bit windows runs faster than 32 bit)

Why are you running 32 bit Windows if your processor is 64 bit? (also 64 bit windows runs faster than 32 bit)

Just for clarification, are you installing Vista on a Win 10 system or are they separate computers?

I asked because the system specs listed in your posts say Vista86/Windows 10 LTSC. You said the GT 1030 is installed on your Win 10 system. I don't see a GPU installed on your desktop.

Well the little specs that appear under the underline on each of your posts still says Win10 LTSC. You also said above "
"i have the graphics card installed in my computer and it's up and running on my windows 10 install"

That's what is confusing.

Is the card working in Win 7?
