Hi,

Does we need to install another driver for laptop after upgrading to w10?
Or just enough with W10 preinstalled driver..?

TQ

it's better to install latest compatible drivers from manufacturers in general. however if the preinstalled drivers work nicely for you, you actually don't need to do that.

So far W10 preinstalled driver works nicely for me thumbsup.gif ...except Nvidia display driver that i installed sometimes got error "your display driver has encountered a problem and successfuly recovered"

The gpu error can be caused by various sources. Normally you can use the stock w10 driver from laptop manufacturer to resolve this, unlesss it's hardware issue.

Use ddu to clean up first in safe mode then reinstall gpu driver.

I don't have the stock w10 driver from laptop manufacturer..,the only NVIDIA display driver i used now is also what i got from laptop manufacturer site..but i got it when i download it when using w7...means.,i need to find new one for w10 right?

check the manufacturer website for w10 driver. if they don't have it, then you can still use the drivers from gpu manufacturers (nvidia./amd). yes, the gpu manufacturers have the latest w10 drivers.

Checked at ACER site based on my laptop model..,no new driver...just the same as what i got before...

I'll stick to my Mac full time instead of part time. At least El Capitan has full native USB 3.0 support. Fast and stable. And works! MS and Nadella can bury themselves. As for my W10 machine, already downgraded back to W7. So much better.

W7..,W8..,W10..,Xp..,Vista..,never mind as long as u satisfied with...

U need USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers. There are no native support under W10.

They drive different components: Realtek is for the onboard audio chip; while nvidia hd audio is for gpu. If you plugged in speakers into audio jacks you use Realtek.

Oo..That's mean i need to install NVidia HD Audio driver also for my laptop...because i use onboard audio chip...

lel what you talking about? Windows 7 didn't even have native USB3 support either. Can confirm you cannot install Windows 7 directly over USB3 ports without additional drivers...
Just asking... Your nvidia GPU is?? If you look up Device Manager does it say something like 3D controller or VGA controller?

NVidia Geforce 310M CUDA... hmm.gif rolleyes.gif

right... but m$ft is getting rid of win7 and win8.x so maybe will focus more w10 soon...

but whateva I already abandon ship since release of 10TP, moved to Linux...
hmm... ok but have you seen this 3D Video Controller when you start to install any display drivers or already uninstalled any display drivers?
user posted image

ok so from what I know (maybe not true), that 3D video controller is your nvidia gpu (if that is correct) but why WIndows recognise that way instead of VGA compatible controller has its meanings...
that HDMI port of yours (if you have) is connected directly to one of your gpus, be it intel or nvidia...

if nvidia gpu is shown to be 3d video controller, chances are your hdmi port is used solely by intel gpu (i think newer laptop is like this) for output through hdmi cable (if you use)...
is this a good thing or bad thing? i dunno but its definitely good thing on Linux tongue.gif

ok anyway that hd audio driver is only used for gpus that controls the hdmi port to output sound, thats why intel also got its intel hd audio if you installed from intel display driver
also applies to nvidia
probably to cover all sorts configuration on desktop/laptop

so even if you installed the nvdia hd audio driver if your nvidia gpu is not the one controlling the hdmi port, i guess nothing will happen since the extra driver just sit there doing nothing...

so yeah background info for your hd audio display driver... yawn.gif

I use NVidia Display Driver only...
