Hello,
The removal of the old driver is normal, expected and programmed on purpose in collaboration with Microsoft... However, the message can't be personalised so there is the default message.
There are two driver architectures in the 8.0 package. Old Windows and Anniversary Update onwards. You may be using the same package version, but you are using a totally different driver on v1511 than on v1607 or v1703.
We are benefiting from changes in the OS which don't exist in previous versions to provide a much lighter driver, not needing to reboot and not having to work hand-in-hand with the primary graphics driver.
You will also be able to note that, on v1607 and newer, devices based on DisplayLink technology are presented with "Display Adapters" like Intel, nVidia, AMD... instead of a different category.
When you upgrade from v1511 or lower to v1607 or higher, your product using DisplayLink is probably working again transparently despite the message because the USB device driver is the only thing needed now, and it's picking it up from Windows Update. The "migration blocker" from Windows didn't allow to remove the add/remove programme entry.
Kind regards,
Alban
