Hello everybody! :)
Is there anyone here who knows how to hack Windows 10 to install unsupported legacy drivers such as AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 with up to 3711MB HyperMemory? At the moment Windows 10 only wants to install the 4200 series and 5000 series with only 1GB memory available. The computer should be able to switch between those, but I had to turn it off in Bios because it would not work while it was enabled. Any registry suggestions perhaps?
Acer Aspire 5553G
- AMD Phenom II X4 Mobile Processor N930 (2GHz)
- AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Up to 3711MB HyperMemory
- 12GB DDR3 Memory
- Crucial 480GB SSD

I don't think there should be need for a "Hack" have you tried looking on the manufaturers website for the proper driver?
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download (Auto detect Driver)
You can do that, and it'll install the proper driver, it has nothing to do with microsoft it's the GPU's website, it should give you the proper one, if need be you should uninstall the one you have prior to installing this one, or do that after. Either way.
If directly from the manufacturer doesn't work, I usually try from DRP.SU it's a very nice driver updating program that's free and clean, just make sure you uncheck any of the boxes that say extra stuff unrelated to drivers, cause you don't want to install additional shit thats optional like a russian yandex browser etc. But it's GREAT at autodetecting every driver you need and virus free.

For some reason Windows refuses to let me install the driver properly, even with the drp.su. Windows claims the graphic card is unsupported, I even tried to force installation by disbling the driver signature verification. Still no luck... 😧 howtogeek has a guide on that.

The laptop itself is six years old, but it has upgraded memory, SSD instead of HDD and yes, the graphic card is as old as the computer. Anyway if I only could get it working, I would be satisfied. I use this computer for photoshopping, IT-school and I also play movies from the blueray burner. Works fine though it is slow sometimes on some software, because the graphic card is not working properly without the drivers. It worked in Windows 8.1 but not in Windows 10.
Update: Googled the topic of the link you posted, and finally got it working. Thanks for the suggestions guys! :D

Try getting Driver booster from IObit. (Probably shouldn't say; but there are hacks to get the program licences etc. See you Tube) Version 3.xx will do fine. Get it to scan your drivers and update the ones it recommends. The program finds obscure drivers from various internet sources, and; so far, It's got me out of a few fixes. Especially with Some of the "older" Acer Laptops.
lol mine older, i have a geforce 6 6800 256meges ultra :D
