Hi,
I’ve got more information:
The GeForce 8500 GT wasn’t initially supported on Win 10 (series 9000 was not as well), but NVIDIA eventually provided drivers for it. The most recent one is from 2016, so it remains difficult to actually know how compatible it is with current OS versions. It was released in 2007 (Tesla architecture) and the feature level is barely sufficient (not sufficient for OpenGL 4 plugins). Weak 256/512 MB cards, not up to the task for today’s workloads.
I confirm the latest driver for the 610 to be from 2018, it has DX11 support, etc. With this one, the user might actually have more luck using the NVIDIA driver than an updated Microsoft generic driver, but he might try both.
Based on this, I would strongly recommend to buy a new graphic card.
