    Hi everyone. I posted this because the Z5610 behaves more like a DTR than an AIO desktop, given that it has a desktop CPU but a mobile implementation of graphics and a rather custom motherboard.

    My Aspire Z5610 is showing its age, given that it was purchased way back in 2010 with a single 1 TB 5400 RPM HDD, and a GT 240M MXM 3.0A GPU. I'd like to upgrade the GPU so that the PC supports Windows 10, at least. Can I use any MXM module that supports LVDS output? Or is there some sort of BIOS blacklist?

    Thanks.
