Figured it was time to upgrade. I ran the win10 setup & got a notification saying that my gpu (1080ti) isn't compatible? 

 

Since i'm running a ryzen system, do i need to download a win10 driver for my gpu before i upgrade my OS?

Oh you're probably just running a version from early 2016, you just need to update Windows 10 to a newer build and you'll be fine.

download the newest win 10 drivers? I don't need to install anything right? That would just mess my system up i assume?

will the os upgrade find the new drivers?

 

My biggest concern is upgrading and having a black screen because my gpu isn't detected

just confirm and start the install.  there are drivers on the nvidia site after you successfully install 10.
