I was given a free AMD Firepro W5100 4GB graphics card that worked well on windows 10. (According to the previous owner). Anyway, I'm putting together a computer for some basic workstation use. I was planning on running windows 11 pro on the build, but I've been finding conflicting information about whether or not it will work with windows 11. It sounds like amd still supports it for windows 11 but I couldn't find too much info on that. Has anyone used this card on 11 or know if there is a driver for it? I haven't completed the build yet as I'm waiting for other parts to arrive still.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
https://www.amd.com/en/support/down...re...w5100.html
Shows up with Windows 10 drivers. You could try and install the drivers meant for Windows 10 or below under compatibility mode;
i.e,
Right click installer
>
Properties
>
Compatibility tab
>
Windows X
(where X is the OS number)
I haven't completed the build yet as I'm waiting for other parts to arrive still.
What might I ask are the specs to the build?

It's not a big deal, but the setup uses an ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 board with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor and a 600 watt power supply. It's mainly intended for an auto shop computer used for handling repair orders and scheduling customers. The focus is on supporting 3 or 4 screens—two for scheduling and repair orders, and one for showing ongoing and completed repairs in the shop area. The system won't be heavily loaded. I've gathered some components already and ordered additional parts for the build.

I'm an auto technician by profession, but I've previously assembled several computers for friends and family.
