Couple of questions on this card:

  Is it compatible with Windows 10 Pro

  What are the power requirements

  Does the PCI slot have a power rating that I need to be concerned with

I'm only asking these questions because I purchased a card at Best Buy but it needed a 300watt power supply so I couldn't use it.

All radeon HD Series 1000 THRU 8000 are legacy.  This card will work with windows 10 but its a legacy directx 9 10 11 card.  Windows 10 is directx 12.   This card works fine in all Dell sizes from SFF THRU MINI TOWER.  Doesnt work in USFF because it has no slots.

This card works fine with all versions of windows.

All radeon HD cards from 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000 are Legacy.  If you installed the latest 16.X Driver then it would not see the HD7470.
