Replacing a gtx 970 (awesome card).
Uninstalled drivers using DDU in safe mode.
Installed brand new 5700 Pulse.
Tried installing most recent Adrenalin drivers... "hardware not found."
Windows 7 drivers don't work. Tried using compatibility mode.
Same for Windows 10 drivers.
Tried a couple of earlier drivers. Same problem.
So, it looks like I'm screwed. I don't really want to upgrade to Windows 10 since I have everything set up the way I want it now. Never had a problem. My concern is that some programs may stop working, and I don't know whether everything is transferred over (browser passwords, program settings, programs, etc.)
I also have automatic backup set up using Macrium Reflect across numerous hard drives... I wouldn't want that to be impacted.
I also read that upgrading to W10 from W8.1 causes a performance impact. Not sure how accurate that is; perhaps it varies on a case-by-case basis.
Has anyone else been in the same boat? If so, did you find a solution (other than a clean install)?
Thanks for reading.
