System Compatability Error

[Charul]

Hello Friends, I am a beginner to Premiere Pro. Just purchased it. Installed it. It keeps giving 'System Compatibility Error' saying unsupported video driver. My Asus Zenbook has NVIDIA Geforce MX250 card. Does it mean I wont be able to use it for video editing? Can anyone help? 

Thanks, Charul

Update your graphiccard driver to the latest one from jan 2021.

Thanks Ann. Just checked the link. Will this really help? As I read the posts of other members, I see that even after the updates, most of them were unable to remove that error. Is it true that the current and future versions will not support non-studio drvier versions?

You may still use the program, you just won't have any extra help from the video card

Thanks so much John. Your links are so useful. Does it mean that basically my current machine is useless for video edit? Its a brand new machine and am feeling so sad. I need to do very basic video edits for music and education. Should I downgrade to an earlier version? Would that help? Or is there any other software that will work with MX250?
