I've switched from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (SSD) to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit 1909. Previously, I experienced frame drops on YouTube with Firefox at 1440p60 and 2160p resolutions. On my current setup, both versions run smoothly without any interruptions using the same Firefox edition. My HDD still hosts Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and I can enjoy higher resolutions like 1440p60 and 2160p without drops with the same Firefox version. I have a 1080p display but prefer sharper visuals due to better bitrate quality. I've experimented with turning on/off WebRender, WebGL, and hardware acceleration, as well as using Firefox Portable, older versions, and reinstalling. Nothing resolves the issue. VLC media player supports the same videos (VP9 1440p60, 2160p24to30) consistently across Windows 7 and 10. I have the newest NVIDIA drivers and the latest Firefox release. My system specs: Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.67 GHz, 8GB RAM DDR3 1333MHz, dual-channel CL9 MSI GTX 750 Ti (2GB GDDR5), Kingston A400 SSD 240GB.

Ensure all drivers are completely refreshed—graphics, chipset, audio, etc. Restart your system once and observe any improvements.

Updates for audio and LAN are available. Where can I find the latest chipset drivers for Windows 10 64 bit? You have a first-generation i5 processor—possibly scaling issues with Windows 10 are the cause. A DOSBox problem was resolved by switching to OpenGL: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=71407

When Windows can't locate the right driver, it will switch to generic ones that might not give the device full performance. Check Device Manager to confirm generic drivers are active. If you have 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 or 8, install them. You might need to use compatibility mode during setup to skip the OS verification, but this should fix the issue. Restart your computer and test whether the problem is resolved.

Windows 10 and 7 rely on Microsoft's generic drivers. No chipset drivers were installed on this machine.
