Extending the life of a 12 year old desktop computer

I had a power outage that took out the power, motherboard and graphics card in an old HP Pavilion Tower desktop computer. I considered taking it for recycling and moving on, but decided to give it a try and restore it, mainly because it had a lot of data and apps that I might need to access (or remove so I could use them for a new car could use). The tower's built-in video was not Windows 10 compatible, so I needed a basic feature card that was Win10 compatible and would drive HDMI monitors. I'm not a gamer and didn't need a GPU or anything other than the basics. This card has served its purpose. I don't use the machine very often but it has held up well and has done its job.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
