I have 5210 Compaq CQ5210 F that doesn't support Windows 10 because of its NVIDIA geforce driver. Any idea of something inexpensive I can put in myself that will enable me to run the new Windows OS?

Power supply is only 250 watts and a small physical size. I would get a bigger case to fit a regular ATX power supply. Graphics compatibility for Windows 10 is also necessary.

Thanks for your help. Would the $218 spent on your recommendations give me a better system than spending a bit more and getting a new computer? Again, thank you.
