    I read some forum posts a week or two ago about putting the 12.7 display driver over 12.5 if u were having issues installing 12.7 stand alone. So I was wondering if it applies to 12.6 aswell, because I can NOT get 12.7 to take on my computer. Trying actually lead me to having to respawn my m17. So I was curious if I can just do a custom install of 12.7 over my 12.6 and what exact file do I pick to put over top of 12.6.
