    Hi guys,
    I have this laptop sitting around and it needs a screen replacement so I decided to try the RX 470 4GB EGPU and see what happens. What I did so far:

    - fresh install of windows 10 pro
    - downloaded GPU drivers from AMD
    - installed and executed DDU
    - uninstalled driver for WIFI card and removed it from the laptop
    - bought V8.0 EXP GDC Laptop External PCIE Graphics Card for Beast Dock Mini PCI-E AC774
    - bought 600W PSU
    - hooked them up

    After running the AMD driver, it can not recognize the EGPU and it doesn't install. Do I need older driver?

    Thanks in advance.
