    I have the file for windows8.1, 441.20....sorry i dont much like windows10

    https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php

    this shows you how....



    pretty much just replace

    %NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.05AA.1028% = Section121, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13D7&SUBSYS_05AA1028
    in 3 nvidia devices subheadings and

    NVIDIA_DEV.13D7.05AA.1028 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M"
    in strings section

    of nvdmi.inf file

    I just chose section 121 and changed 05AB to 05AA.. ..ie in 13D7 05AB 1028% = section 121..(I think....forget now)..try a different section number if it doesnt work

    AND...drive signiture disabled.
