When I open Lightroom Classic I am getting the following message

Can I still used lightroom classic in the mean if so what problems might I faced?

[DdeGannes]

The Error Message states that it is strongly recommended that you update your display driver.

That's what you should do, if you choose to ignore then I expect you will experience display issues.

But I not doing video editing but only photo editing.

Also i got an HP laptop which is out of warranty and it been Locked by HP so I can do it myself

The error has nothing to do with editing video per se. It's about your GPU which LR uses for many processing tasks. Do what DdeGannes suggested.

That's fine, but for dinosaurs like me,  it doesn't make it very clear or easy to do, we're not all that tech savvy .

You can roll back to older versions that didn't utilize the GPU in specific areas, or upgrade your GPU.

An ofter preferred suggestion is to upgrade the GPU (Video) Card Driver as in Method #2 in this link-

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.
