Can I install "unsigned" Win 8 driver for monitor on Win 10?

I have an Asus ProArt PA248Q monitor that is showing as "Generic PnP Monitor" in the Device Manager.
I'm trying to update it to the manufacturer drivers but the only one they have is the Win 8 64-bit but whenever I try to update the driver, it tells me it is digitally unsigned and therefore will not complete the install.

Is there anyway around and is it safe to do so?
Just really wanting the device to show as the Asus monitor, not just a Generic PnP.

Maybe this will help:

Try changing Signature = "$WINDOWS NT$"

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Still same message (I'm still in windows test mode as well).

Open an admin Command Prompt, type or paste "bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks on" and press "Enter". You may have to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Would you believe it - this did not work either.

To make this work :

First you need the following files in same folder on installing :

Code:

PA248.INF
PA248.cat
PA248.icm

* If any is missing or named differently , installation will fail
** The file PA248.cat is the signature file windows was looking for and apparently missing

Second
1 - Open a command prompt as administrator
2 - Run the following commands

Code:

bcdedit /set testsigning on
bcdedit /set nointegritychecks off

Third
Edit the line in original file PA248.INF by NotePad++ From

Code:

signature="$CHICAGO$"

To

Code:

signature="$Windows NT$"

*Using other means than NotePad++ may risk changing needed control characters (Enter / Shift)

Fourth go through installation through device manager as normal

Fifth when done run command prompt as administrator and run the following commands

Code:

bcdedit /set testsigning off
bcdedit /set nointegritychecks on
