1. Go to the Nvidia website (You know where I mean, I guarantee you were there before you wound up here) and download the driver you want.
2. Open the folder where it was downloaded, make sure you have folder options enabled to view file extensions (google it if you need to), and change the file to a ‘.zip’.
3. Extract the .zip file to wherever you like, but the closer to root directory the better, you’ll be manually browsing to it later.
4. Verify you have a folder with all of the extracted files before bothering to proceed.
5. Open Device Manager, and open the dropdown for Display Adapter.
6. Right click your current adapter and select properties.
7. Select the driver tab.
8. Click Update Driver.
