Hey All,
Quick question, and forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere. I installed Windows 10 last night and of course up first boot it spends about 10 minutes installing the Nvidia driver that is packaged with Windows (353.62 I think).
However, I want to upgrade to the latest and greatest Nvidia display driver. Typically, in the past, I would go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall the existing drivers, and install the new one. Easy as pie.
In Windows 10, once I uninstall the existing driver it immediately starts downloading it and installing it in the background...which gives me an error message when I'm trying to install the newer driver. Even with automatic updates in the system settings disabled beforehand, it still wants to get 353.62 probably cause it is packaged with windows.
From what I've read from the Nvidia site, the best way to do it for Windows 10 is to let 353.62 install, then right click on the Nvidia control panel and install the new driver from there. Selecting "custom" and "clean install" of course.
Is that my best bet? Anything else?
Thanks.
