I have an Windows 8.1 vm, running under fusion. The Windows 10 upgrade tool says that the SVGA 3D driver is not supported.
I check all settings for the display and don't nothing i can change or a way to replace the display hardware. VM tools are installed.

- Uninstall VMware tools
- Shut down VM
- Change VM settings to Windows 10
- Restart Windows
- Delete all files in c:\windows\softwaredistribution\download
- Run wuauclt.exe /updatenow from CMD as Administrator
- Go to Windows Update and Windows 10
The report is invalid, it is simple a bug on the tool, so the solution is to download the iso and install it from cd-rom. All steps here.
1This worked for me: Device Manager/Display Adapters/VMware SVGA 3D - right click and choose Update Driver Software Choose 'Browse my computer' and Let me pick from a list of device drivers. Choose Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
run in admin command prompt: schtasks.exe /Run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser"
wait a little while for the windows 10 update to refresh (and restart probably)
actually had this problem on an upgrade from 2012 server core to 2016 server core. When you go into the panther directory (c:\windows~BT/soruces/Panther) you will find an HTML file where it displays this. I guess server core does not have the ability to display html files.
Anyways it was fixed by re running setup.exe as "setup.exe /compat ignorewarning", after mounting the datastore ISO of server 2016. This allows the install to complete in my case and bypass the vmware error.
