Hello damonrust,
the solution should be very simple because driver for older versions of Windows should also run on win10, for example a win7 driver. So just get the right driver that also runs on win10 from the official website of your gpu vendor.

You might es well find some help there which is the right driver or ask Google for that.
If the installation doesn't work because the driver you want to install isn't signed by microsoft, you have to deactivate the sign checking first.
This guide explaines very good how to do that:

How to install unsigned drivers in Windows 10

Good luck!

Background:
when updating to win10 you expect to get all necessary drivers automatically by windows update, but Microsoft only supplies opengl 1 drivers because opengl is a competitor of their own graphics API Direct3D
(part of DirectX). So ... you are now back in 1992 ....
The problem is that when your graphic card was released, there was no
windows10, so it is up to the manufacturer to release a new official driver for win10, but for older models but this is not likely to happen.
