AMD Driver Issues after Windows 10 update

Ok have just updated to Windows 10 and have but one problem with the installation and that is my graphics card drivers.

Am running a Radeon HD 7870 graphics card and when I start my PC I get a message telling me my drivers are out of date and I need to upgrade to version 15.7.1



So obviously I download the required update and try to install only to face this problem.



Anyone else having issues with this particular update or have found a way to overcome?

Other first impressions is that I found Cortana very annoying and just decided to turn it off after 10 mins.

I faced one other small driver issue, windows 10 did not auto detect drivers for a xbox 360 wireless receiver I have attached to my PC, nether did windows 8 for that matter, so I had to manually assign the driver and problem solved.



Other than that all seemed to go well, am not liking the Start menu a great deal but prefer the option to go full screen kind of like a transparent metro screen, will take so tweaking to get the layout and style that I want up but nothign major except for the graphics update issue which I am certain if nothing else works AMD will come to the rescue with a new driver than does work, in the mean time I may try a clean install of the graphics drivers wiping the old drivers completely.
 
Are you sure your version installed as 64 bit?

Also, I'd probably uninstall Raptr. Most useless software ever.

have just checked and yes I have the 64 bit edition



Agree with your view of Raptr been useless, but that should not stop me updating my graphics drivers.
 
What's the SHA-1 hash of the file you downloaded? Maybe it's corrupt.

The one I installed from was:

SHA-1 Hash: 00a9708fe09d57a764a2e312b41bf2899d14ed74
C:\Users\beers\Downloads\amd-catalyst-15.7.1-win10-64bit.exe

May have been the problem, after wiping the old drivers and all related software clean and reinstalling the drivers using the auto detect software feature on the AMD website, the new drivers installed without a hitch, have had no further problems since upgrading to windows 10.
