GeForce RTX 2060 (Notebooks) Windows 8.1

[{ИЯm} Keith]

I know, it isn't officially supported but does anyone have a driver?
(I don't care if newer features work)
The windows 10 driver won't install.

You should always attempt the manufacturers site which is where you can see if Drivers are present.

For the notebook only drivers: No, Windows 10 and other Operating Systems.
For general RTX 20 series: No, Windows 10 and Windows 7 drivers.

You have a notebook with a 2060 and the operating system is Windows 8.1?

Of course Win7 and 8 are still supported via NVIDIA Drivers, even for RTX 20 series; however there is no reason to use that OS, it was always 100% junk, as bad as Windows Vista was. Do a clean install of the very latest Win10 64bit and all latest official Drivers from the chipset makers websites. Go and make your own Win10 64bit USB Flash Drive via MS official Win10 website, download their tool to C Drive, plug in a USB Flash Drive that is 8GB minimum size, and run the tool and select...

USB
Windows 10
English
64bit

Then you'll have a Win10 USB Flash Drive you can use for OS installs/repairs for any PC and it will be the latest version/build of Win10 to date.

Update: I solved it by modding an existing driver manually. So it's win, win, win. It works, I can play Crysis, and I don't have MS's garbage windows 10. I also learned a little bit about drivers.

Tell me, pls, where did you find the solution?
I looked for win-raid, and I was unable to find one for mobile 2060.
There's a solution for integrated graphics (what is needed to make nv rtx 2060 one work correctly), but I havent found a driver for 2060.

[_I_]

get the drivers from the laptop mfg and amd/intel/nvidia

if its an intel non f cpu or amd g cpu, it needs the igpu to display the image from the dedicated laptop gpu (those gpus have nothing attached to their displays, only the igpu runs the display)

Are you really going to call Windows 10 garbage and you are using 8.1?

Tragic.

I actually didn't "get" the solution from anywhere. What I did was download the driver from Nvidia, open the .inf file and change the supported OS to windows 8.1, this could also be done for windows 7. (maybe for vista too). As it currently stands the archive / catalog part of the drivers is still written as per the 7/8.1 style, not the 10+ style. (this is because NVIDIA still makes 7 drivers for desktop cards).
Windows Vista is NTamd64.6.0
Windows Seven is NTamd64.6.1
Windows Eight is NTamd64.6.2
Windows 8.1 is NTamd64.6.3
Windows 10 is NTamd64.10.0 (followed by build number)

Note: After changing the .inf file, reboot in advanced mode with "Unsigned" drivers to install it.

What driver version did you use?
Like Nvidia whql 496.49 or something like that.

Also, did you experience the some errors like 10 or 43 while doing it?
I read on some forums that despite they modified .inf file, the driver refused to work due to some artificial limitation by nvidia (it refuses to work with an error code)

If you dont mind, I'd like to write a private message to you. (and also I'd like to buy you a beer for help, if it's possible)

You can install ANYTHING in a RTX 2060 laptop, including all kinds of Windows and their drivers.

But I'd like to use a fully controllable OS, like win 7 or 8.1. OS that behaves at its own (like win10) should be run in a VM.

Let me look up exactly which driver number it is and get back to you.
I've had zero issue with it, I've gamed, even tested out vulkan, passed some 3d mark benchmarks.
i will note, I haven't tested the hdmi port yet and I don't use VR so those may or may not work, but probably will.

you can PM me if you like.

The driver I am running is
Version : 431.36 WHQL
Release Date : 2019.7.9
Which is 26.21.14.3160

Though I see no reason to not use the latest if you like.
