This is an Adobe Photoshop cs6 performance question and I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section. I just recently upgraded to windows 10 32bit. prior to that I had win 7 ultimate with no problems with CS6. I have an intel hd 3000 and Nvidia 610m series GPU in my Asus k43SD laptop.
prior to upgrading every was ok, photoshop always detected my Nvidia card. After upgrading I noticed my 2 GPU drivers wasn't installed. properly. so I download the latest drivers for my intel and NVidia cards. however CS6 only detects my intel card. when I changed the settings in the NVidia control panel to force to cs6 and sniffer_gpu.exe to use NVidia it detects nothing at all. I also inserted a DWORD that forces cs6 to allow old GPUS(I heard it worked some) still to know avail. I'm at my wits end and I hope somebody can help me here. thank you so much!

thanks for the quick reply however I'm afraid I don't know how to do that. sorry, can you kindly tell me how to do that? thanks!

Update: anyway I find out who the manufacturer of my card is, I just want to confirm if what I did was right, Device Manager>Display adapters>Nvidia 610M>properties>details then under the tab manufacturer and it still says Nvidia. and that's where I download my lastest Nvidia driver... so not really sure what is still wrong...
 

What make is the NVidia card? If you do not know, download and run 'SPECCY' - https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
(Download the free version).

After you do this, go to the NVidia card manufacturer's website to find the Win 10 driver. Since Win 10 is still fairly new, not all manufacturers have drivers ready; but they will guide you as to what to do, or how to work around the issue.

Do not download drivers from generic "Drivers Download" websites. Always go to the device manufacturers' websites for drivers.

I saw the other posts however the only thing win 10 upgraded deleted in order for me to upgrade was my daemon tools. anyway I did find out that the manufacturer of my card is also Nvidia, and that is where I got my driver, it's a win 10 NVidia driver too and It just updated a few days ago. hmmmm I think it might be too early to seek answer. I thank you though for your help, it was very nice. =)
