    Hi brothers , its been a very long time since i posted due to my laptop screen bombing out with win10 , did a replacement some time back but done the most stupid thing possible i turned it on but it didn't go into safe mode and done the screen again hahaha , anyway to save future stupidity i replaced the drive have again purchased another screen and will fit maybe tonight but i need some drivers for the 980m not sure if i am going with win10 or 8.1 but if anyone could upload me any modified drivers for win 10 and 8.1 would really help me out , the last drivers i had were a dedicated driver and an optimus version of the driver but all i want now is to get it up and running again , the card was originally purchased from woodstacks i believe clevo type..anyway my thanks if anyone can upload any as will need to re learn how to modify them myself like i said its been over a year since I last used it . Thanks in advance
