    I tried to follow the instructions by Yuki: https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php but no luck!

    Laptop: HP EliteBook 8740w
    OS: Win 10
    NVIDIA Graphics Driver Version: 392.62
    Device ID:
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DDA&SUBSYS_1520103C

    GPU
    NVIDIA_DEV.0DDA = "NVIDIA Quadro 2000M "

    When I execute the installer, the program successfully completes System Check, License Agreement, Options, but the installer ends with the "NVIDIA Installer failed".

    My modds on nvhmwi.inf Fermi driver 392.62:

    [Manufacturer]
    %NVIDIA_A% = NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0

    [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0]
    %NVIDIA_DEV.0DDA = Section010, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DDA

    [Strings]
    DiskID1 = "NVIDIA Windows 10 (64 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1"
    NVIDIA = "NVIDIA"
    NVIDIA_A = "NVIDIA"
    NVIDIA_DEV.0DDA = "NVIDIA Quadro 2000M "

    Thanks for the modded drivers.

    Do you have any instruction how to mod the nvidia driver it self.
    I am trying to upgrade my gpu on a 8760w elitebook and i always want my gpu drivers up to date . A step by step instruction would be great if you already have made a post about it.

    Thanks in advance
