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

lol

  1. ok weird one short version: HydraVision Basic Edition won't install.

    Windows Update

    Windows Update
    We couldn't complete the updates.
    Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.
    
    Error code: 0x800f0922
    

    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 :D is the laptop maker locking this down, or is my Windows install broken? I would really prefer not to reinstall Windows just to update one driver. if there is a way to check what teh installer is actually comparing, I would love to know it. im about to throw this thing out the window lol
