Hey,
I ran a Windows 10 update yesterday and now my Radeon Software isn't working at all. Also, when I hook up my TV via HDMI, the image won't scale to fill the whole screen. From what I can tell, AMD hasn't released a compatible version of the software for my specific card. Does anyone know an alternative way to fix the display settings on my TV?
Thanks

Maybe it would help if you just told us which card you're running? It’s honestly ridiculous that an AMD card isn't supported by Radeon Software. What else am I supposed to use, then?

I think I have an AMD Radeon HD 4850, but Radeon Software just won't work on Windows 10 with this card. Honestly, it feels like my only real move is to roll back to Windows 7.

"The Radeon 4 series cards aren't officially supported on Windows 10 because they don't meet the bare minimum specs. Windows 10 is just going to pull a generic, stripped-down driver through Windows Update that'll let you browse the web, but that's about it. Honestly, your best move is to stick with Windows 7. You won't find any HD 4850 drivers for Windows 10."

Unfortunately, Windows 10 only pushes those basic drivers since the Radeon 4 series doesn't hit the minimum requirements for Windows 10. There are no drivers available, and there won't be...

You can either deal with those crappy basic drivers or just roll back to Windows 7 or 8.

Windows 10, through Windows Update, will install a very basic graphics driver that will allow very basic (web browsing) functions. Your best bet is to stay with Windows 7. There will be no HD 4850 drivers for Windows 10."

Your options are to just deal with those basic drivers or roll back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

Here's me running a recovery on Windows 7😉
