Uninstall the old drivers first.

Doing it would have been way faster than creating this thread and waiting for a response...

If you are using the same type of GPU as the replacement for eg: Nvidia or radeon, its not required to uninstall drivers. You can just update the drivers from website. If you are installing the opposite, yes you should remove gpu drivers and then put gpu, install new drivers and then restart PC

You can check the control panel under add/remove programs or uninstall a program, over there you will have AMD Catalyst if you are using Amd based processor. If Nvidia you will see the name of Nvidia over there, like Nvidia drivers geforce drivers, etc.

What GPU are you having? To what are you upgrading?

Okay you have to remove the AMD Catalyst from the computer, restart and then you can install the GPU. Download and install the latest Nvidia drivers for the new GPU from Nvidia website, don't use the CD for installing Driver
