I installed Windows 10 and the only program that does not work correctly is Microsoft Flight Simulator 10. I was told by Microsoft that my Intel 4400 graphics card is the problem and by Intel that they do not have a Windows 10 driver for the Intel 4400. What are the least expensive graphic cards that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Windows 10?

Hi!,
my rig is i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and boxed FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2,
which provides, according to Windows 10 updates, for more or less a fluid flying (in the lower range of the game capacities :):) )
I have given up on Flight Simulator X and purchased Flight Gear Flight Simulator. It's a pity Microsoft have done nothing to help people who upgraded to Windows 10 and couldn't continue to use Flight Simulator X
True, that many FSXers do have problems getting their Sim to install/activate/launch/run properly in Win10, but at the same token, there are many who have had no such problems. That scenario itself tells me that FSX is not the problem, nor its continued functioning in all the Windows versions from XP to 10. Users need to look elsewhere on their systems to find out what is causing their FSX problems. Of course, we don't know how well FSX (now an ancient piece of software), will function with any next generation Operating Systems from MS.
Dovetail Games have indeed obtained a limited licence to make changes/improvements to the original FSX Deluxe Edition and they seem to have done a superb job, remaining within the limits of MS' requirements and agreements. As you know, after FSX, MS produced MS Flight which was produced to presumably garner in a wider cross-section of the community. Having downloaded and used it for trial purposes, I found it too 'game-ish', offering nothing of worth to anyone wanting to engage in serious flying or develop their real world flying skills (esp. in navigation). Yet some still use MS Flight and downloaded additions to it and enjoy it. However, MS have also ceased development with this 'game' and it has been sucked into the same 'black hole' as FSX.
So it was good that Dovetail Games had enough foresight to add FSX to their large offering of other Sims, as of course as you mentioned, Prepar3d, X-Plane, etc have also likewise done. And remember, these non-MS producers of Flt Sims are also continually re-working their products which include making them functional with newer Operating Systems. MS for now, appear to have discarded any further development in Flt Sims and we are left with an old FSX that one day will be relegated to the trash heap. We just have to move on to better offerings if we are to continue to enjoy our 'hobby'.
A brief write up on the MS-Dovetail deal:
Read the previous replies I provided. Try to install the upgrades to Windows 10. If that doesn't work call Microsoft support and give them my case number 1299988518 which should tell the technician that you contact how they fixed my problem.
Same thing at my house - try the Microsoft button and the screen you need is there in small form.
