Apologies in advance for bumping an old thread. I came across this post, after some searching and seeing the notebookreview forum was shutdown. I've got an Alienware M17X R4 with a Clevo GTX 970M I installed a few years ago. My issue is that I'm trying to get the newest set of drivers to install correctly, and they keep failing. The most common message is "driver is not compatible with this version of Windows" and "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". I noticed Nvidia changed the nvdmi.inf to nvdmig in the newest set, and it looks pretty much identical aside from the name change. I've got the hardware ID (that I already made for use with each update up until now), so it doesn't seem to be working. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there like an additional step/something else that needs to be done for it to actually install without a hitch? I can post my hardware ID, along with the version I have already made to see if there are any errors/discrepancies.
Attached is the Hardware ID from the laptop, and this is the ID I have saved for inserting into the .inf;
%NVIDIA_DEV.13D8.0551.1028% = Section018, PCI\VEN_13D8&DEV_13D8&SUBSYS_05511028
Any help would be appreciated!
