Nothing wrong with old hardware! I have four Eee PC's which all have the Intel 915GM - and they were produced in 2008 and 2009 so 915gm was still being used only 6 or 7 years ago. I successfully upgraded one of them to Windows 7 (it had run XP previously) on a larger ssd drive - it installed like dream and Windows downloaded all the necessary drivers - the only one missing was the ACPI driver and that was available elsewhere.
Hello,i need the driver 'Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset Family' for windows 7 32bit professional on urgent basis. Kindly help me and send a link for downloading. Intel 915GM Graphics Driver This package provides the Intel 915GM Graphics Driver and is supported on Latitude X1/D610/D410 and Inspiron MXC051 that are running the following Windows Operating Systems: Windows 2000 and XP.
Anyway my Eee PC has had the same compatibility message as yours about 915gm. I haven't tried to upgrade to Windows 10 but I had read of someone upgrading an Asus 1000H to Windows 10 successfully and that also has 915GM. Our other netbook - much more modern does not have any incompatibilities highlighted but the upgrade to Windows 10 was unsuccessful as there is no graphics driver for it. Intel only made it to run with Windows 7 and nothing else (this is a more modern Cedarview processor only about 3 years old).
So age isn't necessarily the issue. If you want to try upgrading it I would do the following, Make back up of all your personal files - eg documents, music, videos, photos, downloads - on a portable hard drive or large usb sticks. Make sure you have made recovery discs (via Windows 7 backup and restore) and a system image (also made via Windows 7 back up and restore - you'll need a portable hard drive to make the image). Ideally you also need Manufacturer recovery discs or a Windows 7 disc with product code for a clean install (in case the system image won't restore for some reason). Only then would I try upgrading to Windows 10. Intel have not made an upgraded driver for 915GM for Windows 10. There may be one available somewhere if you google 915gm - Windows 10, that other people have found.
If you don't fancy manually installing a driver, I wouldn't bother trying to upgrade - Windows 7 is supported for another few years and I prefer it in many ways.
Intel released version 10.1.17 of their Chipset Device Software on August 24, 2018.
This is the latest version of these drivers and should work with most newer Intel-based motherboards.
Intel's INF updates are not drivers in the most technical sense, but are instead updates to important files that tell Windows how to use Intel integrated hardware. However, we usually still refer to them as drivers.

Changes in Intel Chipset Drivers v10.1.17
This update resolves an issue related to an incorrect version number, plus adds support for a few new devices.
If you're not experiencing any issues with your hardware then this update probably isn't necessary, though I've rarely seen Intel chipset driver updates cause any problems.

Having Trouble With These New Intel Chipset Drivers?
If something breaks after installing these chipset drivers, your best first step is to uninstall and then reinstall them. You can do this from the appropriate applet in Control Panel.
If reinstalling the Intel chipset driver package doesn't work, try rolling back the driver, also something you can do from Control Panel. See How to Roll Back a Driver for instructions in all versions of Windows.
