It might not, the machine is at least 8 years old, a Dell Workstation
(Optiplex 745) with an oddball ATI card. Took forever to find a driver
on the internet and get it working, and I'm pretty sure it was an
ancient driver.

The Windows 10 setup prompts something like "let's check if your
machine is compatible" and reports it is not.

I'm sure I could get it limping along with generic SVGA drivers or
something. Or I could just pick up a whiz-bang recent card from NewEgg
for $33 or so. And RAM. And a new big HDD. Or I could just retire the
machine :)
