Update your graphics drivers.

Sorry, was just editing post, I tried that first and result of checking with Intel Driver update utility shows no new drivers available

install java

I already have Java Version 8 Update 65

Thanks for your help

Your GPU isn't fully windows 10 supported.

You could attempt to downgrade java to an older version which may temporary fix this as the older java seems to work with the windows 10 drivers you have.

But longterm its a case of revert windows back to what it was as intel will never support that GPU fully in windows 10

Thanks for your help. Do you happen to know if it is possible to install an external GPU via express card slot, maybe something like http://www.amazon.com/Laptop-External-PCI-E-Graphics-Card/dp/B00Q4VMLF6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1446910365&sr=8-2&keywords=express card laptop gpu

to fix this problem? Is there a place where I can figure out what GPUs will work?

No, not if you want to damage your laptop or destroy it. These things are for professionals who know how to use them properly. They are not as simple to use as you think at all. They are not magical "performance" boosters either.

Revert back to Windows 7 or 8. This won't destroy your laptop.
