start/ control panel/backup and restore button, select the correct feature requested, point the destination "hopefully " off the main drive, NOT C: drive. and select what you want backed up. I would just choose the system and windows/programs . I have no idea how much stuff or space you have. I use USB extended books, External hard drives for all of mine.
once backed up, then the answer is correct, that's exactly what I wanted you to do and then update all of it first, in the VGA ports seen in the above shot, Just bellow it is the digital out put.. the long one. that is the device / new device your going to want to use for gaming.
look at it this way. IF you still have problems with the game, you now at least have a plan to check and see.
when and if you decide to try it ,treat it as if it's all brand new, and use the standard VGA port first. go through all the ropes as far as the standard version device drivers allow you to go., then switch out the connection points to a higher grade system. the larger port.
the bottom line here is , after you do all of this, the game, and the system will have all the software all the equipment may ever need. all registry keys will have what "Direct -x and the games engine are looking for.
Never settle for less, always get it all first. you are not dumb. in comparison, we are the same, it's the tech that is out of our reach, tech exploded these last ten years faster than we can absorb it all. I have been down this road too many times to count.
on a side note: I could tell you to just drop in a dll file , a fix for Intel integrated graphics chip-sets hosted here on the nexus, but, it would be like a fish out of water , no supported software exists on your system. the link is in my signature if you want it. (Intel)
that board I have seen out perform the card your sporting, Just the main board. what you have there is users choice.
there are 4 stages to do.
- remove card, connect VGA cable, boot. allow to settle and update, install need software for that/reboot.
- run the system and see / notice performances.
- now, connect new device cable , your VGA adaptor to the Digital connector and reboot. install it's required software and drivers.
- update it too./ reboot. scan windows update at this time and see if they had fixes for that boards drivers. BUT, you choose, don't let it do it automatically. test and run the game afterwards. and you still have the HDMI cable to go yet
now, if you like how the Original machine was designed to operate and the Equipment provided , you may not install / reinstall that card.
but, there won't be any need to update drivers for that card as they are already installed and will pick up right where you left off.
how ever. if doing this, you learn something about machine capability left to rot due to being in a hurry to get the game up and running.
it's normal. every one does it, even I do it, but I do choose a time and place to go back and redo things and find out if my investment was truly worth the caps I laid out. You may even find no need to fix any mods too. that's the hope.
