One of my desktops has NVIDIA GeForce 610 for display adapter and has been updated whenever I am notified of an update.
will it work with Windows 10 or will I have problems?
I appreciate any advice/recommendations given.

With win 10 windows will control even hardware driver updates. The latest driver from nvidia is 353.62. Win 10 will download the driver automatically for you. But you can still download the full package from nvidia. Because as I understand it win 10 will only going to hardware driver only. So no GFE stuff and most likely no PhysX driver. So if nvidia releasing latest software for PhysX you might still need to download them manually from nvidia. But the way I heard about it nvidia GFE platform are conflicting with Windows update. Because some of the small driver revision are not available on GFE database making GFE to install the driver that is 'the latest' from it's database. It is a problem that is quite wide spread among nvidia user...

i am sorry but i don't understand fully,what you are suggesting I do.
If I remove the program for the ggraphics adaptor, I can't very well go to the NVIDIA website to get the Windows 10 drivers, because my display won't work..

You download the drivers from nvidia first and then use the program ddu uninstaller, uninstall in safe mode with that option and then restart, install these drivers and restart again. That's all I had to do.

DDU---This is the latest one, shuts off auto updates while it uninstalls so win 10 doesn't interfere with it.

It is a problem that is quite wide spread among nvidia user with win 10 preview build for the past weeks. I think it was severe enough prompting MS releasing this tool:

The link to the tool is no longer live.
I went to NVIDIA's website last night and had Live chat with support Tech. she told me to download the drivers and save them. Do not install them until after I install windows 10.
I have downloaded the drivers she told me to download and have saved them.
Mr. Reaper, I will download that tool you mentioned, and use it per your advice.
thank you all for your advice.

Good luck, it worked fine for me, although in those nvidia and geforce forums it looked like a ton of people were having issues. I had issues getting multiple monitors set up, it took me like an hour...it was kind of annoying and I only got two to work, haven't had time to mess with the third. But since then, everything else is working good with games and such so far.
