The followings are some of the considerations: 1. To add a new adapter, ensure the mainboard has available IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict between each other. If you try adding this video adapter to an ALL-IN-ONE mainboard (which video port built-in already), then you have to disable that port first. Otherwise, that will be a problem for the new video adapter setup. The driver installation for system upgrade is the same as below, if error occurs when you proceed to step 1, 2 or 3, please consult with your system dealer or the existing hardware manufacturer support.
