AMD mobo's usually have an onboard video chip set. Mine does. The way you can tell is go into bios settings and examine the video settings which I think are in advanced settings. It will give you an option to enable/disable the onboard video. If onboard is off, I wouldn't even bother with it, just do the swap.
But anywawy, you just simply uninstall the drivers, power down, swap the card and power up. When you power up you can check bios settings and see if it's being recognized, optional. As windows starts, it'll recognize new hardware and give you a prompt. You have the disk with drivers, install it. When it starts, it'll be using generic drivers which is normal, as you removed the old drivers, and so you install the new drivers and control suite. Standard procedure, we even did this in my A+ prep class in college. Even on current hardware, I put an Radeon in my ASUS system originally and then later swapped it out for a Geforce.

If you give the specs of the setup, will also help.
What motherboard? What card are you installing? I normally download video driver install file beforehand to the desktop. That way its up to date and I don't have to use their cd install garbage. | ||

Motherboard information as follows, Manufacturer: Gigabyte Model: 2AC8 no serial Version 1.2 ^ looks even more embarrassing than the video card, am I right?

Nope, no issues. Actually you will have better results. Nvidia makes all the best graphics tools for programming, it's what everyone uses. ATI/AMD makes shiat, only like render monkey or whatever it is/was called and was a pile of junk last I used it years ago. Nvidia tools are a programmers best friend. So when you use your Geforce or whatever, it was all originally written for it, for games etc. and ATI is more of a port in a sense.

It appears your board (2AC8) is terrible about upgrades.
Lots of good reading here: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=2ac8+video+upgrade I think what needs to happen is a bios update for your board to make other cards compatible. This thread has a resolution: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop...d/td-p/3108285 The link posted to the documentation is broken on their page, here is a fixed link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03092621 | ||
