Are there any drivers compatible with Windows 7 for the Mobile Intel915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family VGA adapter?

Intel's site says it is discontinued:

I had this exact issue recently. I attempted to manually install a number of the drivers, including Vista-patched drivers, around on the Internet but Windows 7 would automatically remove the driver upon reboot.

I later found that you can use the standard Windows XP driver if you run the setup program in XP compatibility mode. The driver will install, but it still will not be able to detect the connected monitor, so you'll have to resort to standard screen resolutions, such as 1280x1024 or 1024x768.

They have the chipset drivers for W7, but no graphics driver is available.

Try to install the Vista drivers manually from the *.inf files; they should work on Windows 7.

I would recommend looking into a shim. Shims allow you to trick a windows XP/Vista installer into running on a Win7 box. They're the 'jedi mind tricks' of the IT world.

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.

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.
