Many people with Windows 10 have conflicting driver problems. Ordinary updates to the graphics drivers tend to fail and leave a residue of API contents that have to be cleaned out when this happens. Start over, remove the existing driver setup, then get a product similar to Cclean that searches out those problematic bits, have it do its job, and then run a clean install of drivers from the primary sources: AMD and nVIDIA.
P. S. I have seen reports that many of the Geforce Dx11 drivers from nVIDIA are incompatible with various of EA's games, so for those cards, keep on swapping to different older drivers over and over . . (Clean Install each time).
I received the same error about my graphics card was not sufficient enough to play Sim City. However I was able to load the game and manually change all the settings to the highest possible at 1920x1080 60hz and the game runs just fine. I have a Radeon R9 270 2 Gb. My Windows 10 install was as clean as it can be upgrading as I choose to keep nothing after a clean Windows 8 install and did not install AMD Catalyst drivers until after Windows 10 install was complete.
