    longer version: my prebuilt desktop came with a manufacturer-customized graphics driver... i wanted the newer one from AMD directly. every installer i try says its incompatible with my Windows... is the latpop maker locking this down, or is my Windows install broken?? i would realy prefer not to reinstall Windows just to update one driver, if there is a way to check what the installer is actually comparing, i would love to know it. seriously need help here 😭

    hmmm that error is often misleading, installers check the GPU's hardware ID against their INF file, not just teh OS... open Device Manager > Display adapters > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids and compare... if you grabbed teh desktop package for a laptop GPU (or vice versa), u'll get this exact message. good luck man!

    lol same thing happened to me check your Windows build with winver. Newer driver packages can require a minimum feature update. If youre on an old build, install the pending feature update first and try again. hope that helps :)
