364.72 seem stable enough no improvements but no issues .
Time to give these a shot. Most of the drivers lately have been pretty hit or miss for me, mostly miss, so hopefully these are a decent set.
Guess I'll hang in with Win 7 until my 6-year old PC smokes. Surely the next one will have Win 10. My laptop runs okay with it, but it takes a little dive now and then. Just minor irritations.
There's a new dev driver out, 364.91. Seems to be mostly for Vulkan, but I'm noticing some notable improvements over the last WHQL driver, including less stuttering and NVCP doesn't take forever to open anymore.
Like I said, it's a dev driver, so I'm not going to link to it. If you want to walk the bleeding edge, it's not hard to find it via Google.
If you image your laptop ( true image or similar ) then upgrade to 10 let it activate then restore your Windows 7 image, as far as I can tell you should always be able to install Windows 10 after the free period expires , as it was activated while free.....no doubt I will be told I am wrong, but gives you the option later for free...
After using the ISO DVD to install Win 10 and get it running I installed the "309.08-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql", tweaked up my screes stuff and it all works fine now. Had some problem getting Windows Live Mail to work, but that was cured and all work okay now. Been working on computers, analog tube, room heaters, to early digital to now (58 years) and it sill pisses me off working with some MS stuff. It is a lot better than Apple though :)
Some of the advice from younger guru types can be confusing, but I managed to muddle through it all. Thanks to anyo9ne who helped me; can't remember who now :)
Anyone of you is using a Quadro NVS videocard (Quadro NVS 290, Quadro NVS 295, NVS 510, NVS 315, NVS 310, NVS 300, Quadro NVS 420, Quadro NVS 450) successfully with the Nvidia drivers for Windows 10 downloaded from their web site? Default drivers are usually fine but do not provide features.
