I figured out that I use this board
-GA-78LMT-S2PT (rev. 4.1)
link-https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-78LMT-S2PT-rev-40-41#support-dl

the problem is that the verious only go up to the windows 8 64bit OS.
Is there any windows 10 version for this board?

Yeah, Gigabyte does that for some reason. Not sure why. Other board manufacturers don't make you specify an OS before finding the BIOS updates.
What gfx card are you getting that has you concerned about the motherboard's BIOS?

Apparently Gigabyte quit supporting drivers and such after Win8. You can probably use those drivers if you need something you don't already have. But Windows 10 will find the latest drivers for devices on your machine in its Updates. If there is a rare component you have that won't work, you can try to go to the manufacturer's website and see if they have a driver. What driver were you interested in?

I plan on upgrading my gpu and wanted to make sure I had the latest version of Bios. Since they don't make a window 10 version then that's fine. just means I had the best version already. thanks for the help :)

The motherboard BIOS? That isn't OS-specific. Just have the latest BIOS offered for your board/revision.

I wanted to upgrade to the

My system is fairly old and after some research I learned that older systems may not be able to work with newer gpu which is what led me down that road.

at this point I realize that the gpu will be fine, the new issue is my power supply (with new gpu I need minimal of 500watts, current supply only has 350)
will this suffice?

That's a great choice in PSUs. But I don't think you'd need to go for such an outdated card with your motherboard. Is it part of an OEM (pre-built) or did you build it?

I have put modern cards in that generation boards and older w/o any problem. Well... not entirely true. There have been few glitches but usually with AMD cards. Never had an Nvidia problem.

it was part of a prebuilt setup, got it a few years back for cheap, served well for the time. Now in 2017 I want it to go a bit faster. At the same time I don't feel the need to buy a completely new system, "yet", so i'm in the process of upgrading it.

when you say -"But I don't think you'd need to go for such an outdated card with your motherboard."-
do you mean that instead of the RX 460 XFX I should probably just get something else?
and or the RX 460 XFX is considered outdated?

Also if you have any suggestions for gpu within 100-200$ i'm open to ideas. :)
