    Installed Windows 10 on a HP G62 b97ED. All OK except the display. Can't get the native resolution. Tried all kinds of drivers, especially ATI Legacy drivers 13.1 and 13.4 for Windows 7/8. Any hint appreciated.

    Usually, I check and download drivers from the official website of the PC producer.

    Did you do the same? How could you find a display driver?

    Sometimes Windows Updates will offer relevant drivers. Tried it?

    If Windows Updates does not resolve issue, try DriverPack online.

    I experience the same. They also offer driver updates sometimes.

    That's would be nice if Windows can detect and install all necessary drivers for us :D

    Went back to Windows 7 as none of the suggestions work.

    Some of the drivers might not be compatible and can cause BSOD. It is clear your computer is not Windows 10 supported by model. I would suggest you check your device management for possible hardware ID and search online for drivers. Other way of doing it is to look for Windows 10 supported system from the maker official site with the same hardware IDs.

    HP doesn't say a word about Windows 10 on this notebook, so they don't support it.
    Microsoft does, through GWX, drivers did install. But don't support the native resolution of 1366x768. So, it's useless.

    You maybe could try to set the Display Driver before installation to it's native Windows OS, like Windows 7, or whatever it is. Also didn't forget, if you do that, mark/check that it run with Administrator rights.

    Upfront, you may uninstall the installed driver from within the Device Manager. If that's done, just don't close or do anything in the Device Manager, start the install of the new driver manually.

    That maybe works.

    I tried all that with every possible driver. No go.

    If all of what you said (and I've to believe it is) is true, I would take the laptop to the nearest HP Service Center and let them explain what's wrong with it!

    From what I think it is, I do believe it's a hardware problem, like the MB, Graphic Chipset, Cable from the MB to the Screen or whatsoever! In similar problems, I had over the years which such outcome, it was near all times a hardware problem.

    From bad experiences with HP, I don't think that they even would try to help!

    The only thing what came in my mind, if there's really a need to get that specific machine to work correctly with Windows 10, I would go to some Laptop Service and test a different LCD/LED Screen.

    And a question: have you try a external Monitor to see, you could get that one to display correctly? If not, I would try that too!!

    It just is a driver problem. HP nor AMD/ATI want to solve it because it's an older notebook.

    Did you try installing the Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode?

    Even normal mode might work

    Or extract them and update them manually from device manager and the .inf
