Installing a graphics card
Apparently my Optiplex has no graphics card. Installing one should fix a problem I'm having with the Intel 4600 graphics driver under Win11. Can anyone advise me on how to find a suitable low-cost card and how to install it?

Here is a low cost Radeon R5 340x low profile with 2 gb of video memory. If it does not work out for you, the purchase is returnable and seller pays for shipping.
Installation is a breeze, just open side panel and insert video card to the blue slot. Review this video to get some idea prior to installation.
Before making the purchase of an add-on video card, check and reinstall your graphics driver.

did you say which optiplex model is it? but the community helpers are good at guessing from small clues. so intel 4600 says it is an intel 4th gen optiplex model such as 3020/7020/9020. the model before that has intel 4000 and the one after 530. I suggest choose a Dell oem one validated for 9020. R5 240 is a low cost one. for MT choose full height (FH) Dell C48KP and for sff HH (half height) Dell F9P1R.

3020/7020/9020 isn't meant to run Win11. Neither is the 790 MT mentioned in your other thread.
Since unsupported doesn't always mean not working, you must've had a workaround for it.

I clean installed Win 11 on 9020 without discrete video card. No issue of Windows auto install integrated display adapter.
