Sometimes you also have to update the chipset drivers, as other drivers, including graphics, depend on it. I too had BlueStacks installed before I upgraded from 8.1 to 10. When I tried to load it, it just was auto-configured for the new system and then asked my to try some apps in order to keep using it for free. I accepted and it worked fine.
