It is recommended that you use the Windows operating system to download or update video card drivers. This is the safest and most reliable way to download or update drivers. The Windows operating system itself downloads and installs new verified drivers.
DriverGuide maintains an extensive archive of Windows drivers available for free download. We employ a team from around the world which adds hundreds of new drivers to our site every day. How to Install Drivers Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
Nvidia 630a Driver Download
The Driver Update Utility automatically finds, downloads and installs the right driver for your hardware and operating system. It will Update all of your drivers in just a few clicks, and even backup your drivers before making any changes.
Thank you so much for posting this fix. It worked perfectly for my NVIDIA 7300LE card. I used your link to download the new video driver first which took some time due to its size. I then used the the link for your manual windows upgrade which took many hours to download and install Windows 10. After the upgrade finished, I installed the new video driver and it is all working perfectly. It all went smoothly without problems. Thanks again for making it possible.
This method worked like a charm for me. I had to download the GEForce driver as well. My old LG monitor looks better than it ever has, and the Win10 installation went smoothly. Thank you so much for this workaround.
as I posted earlier, all went well with suggested Windows 10 download and driver installation. I have one minor problem that I noticed. If I put my computer to Sleep, when I come back to operations, I lose the driver ability to provide a nice font and resolution (it is too big for the screen). When I reboot, all is well again.
I have this issue with my VAIO VGN-AW21S. Video card is GeForce 9600M GT and that is ON SUPPORTED list, but after upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 was installed Microsoft generic driver and is not possible install official latest drivers for Windows 10 from nvidia.com.Solve someone this issue with 9M series?
Thank you for your assistance. Having the same problem, I followed your advice to install Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool. It installed without complaining about the NVIDIA display. I then downloaded and installed the latest GeForce driver and all seems to be well.
Thanks Ivan, but do u think your idea works for my case too? Mines Nvidia GeForce G210M / 9400M G Windows 7 64 bit OS.Does your media creation tool allow me to download windows 10 dump and install through a flash drive / iso file? Am I gonna have to reinstall all the drivers and programs again?
Outstanding, Ivan, and thank you!I had the 6150 LE and your method, your workaround worked flawlessly! Did the upgrade, windows installed the generic driver that worked until I was able to install the nvidia driver. Absolutely perfect!Thanks again!
I have followed the instructions above, I have installed Windows 10 Pro x64 ok and the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter has installed for my Geforce GO 7900gtx, downloaded the drivers via your links but it either says it incompatible or you have the most up to date driver already installed. Any ideas why it does not install?Thanks
Thank you so much. I had the same issue upgrading to Windows 10. I followed your instruction and used the media creation tool to upgrade. fortunately for me, though, I never needed to download the driver update because the original one worked perfectly.
I had the Nvidia driver problems after windows upgrade. My solution was to fully uninstall the display driver then run the latest version of windows 10 ISO which I previously extracted to a folder. I selected the download and install updates button then agreed to the Microsoft agreement. At the ready to install page make sure the install windows and keep personal files and apps are selected. I had the problem of not being able to select these settings and it turned out I did not have the latest ISO version for my version of windows 10. Once you are happy select install. After installation windows had recognised and installed the correct Nvidia driver. This procedure is also what I do if I cannot repair windows using sfc /scannow or dism. I hope this helps someone.Thank you Ivan for a fantastic site and I am pleased to say I have used many of the driver updates you have provided and encourage every one to buy you a beer.Best regards, Mick
Many thanks for this. Our old desktop has NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a and when I had previously tried to update to Windows 10 it was a nightmare due to graphics card issues. However, your instructions worked like a dream. Had a few issues, namely once Windows 10 had installed the PC shut down to restart but I ended up with a black screen. Some Google searching and I managed to get it back so I could update the NVIDIA driver. Still got a bit of a delay on start up so checking on that and had to search to up to date driver for our TP Link wireless adapter but now all seems fine. Once again thank you for such clear guidance.
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU. I installed Windows 10 and it said that nvidia geforce 6150SE nforce 430 was not compatible and that I would have problems with the display. They were right. It made my head hurt. Your download worked! One minute into the download the screen refreshed and it was back to normal.
It worked for me as well. Video driver is Nvidia GeForce 7025 / nforce 630a just like what the compatibility problems showed. The only problem I had is that the it would automatically boot with the USB stick on which the Installer was installed, and I would have to do F12 to boot from my hard drive. Thank you so much.
Finally got it to work by downloading the 259.47 driver then going through the device driver update process. Did the download for 341.95 driver but it say it cannot identify compatible hardware. What a pain!Many thanks for your help.
I followed your instructions and did not have any problems at all. I downloaded the driver for GeForce 6600 GT for 64-bit from your link onto a flashdrive, copied it to my desktop and ran it from there. Everything went perfectly, no need to adjust resolution either!! Thank you for this post!!!
Thank you Ivan!Using Nvida GeForce 6150SE. The download makes the screen look better and I got back Sleep mode which was missing with the Microsoft generic driver.Thanks again for all your hard work on this problem.
This was my saver for getting Windows 10 to work on my Acer aspire 7520 notebook from 2007. I got help from the YouTube video you have linked to on your site and I got the 309.08 64-bit version I downloaded installed. Without this I would have been stuck with no Windows 10 or I had to operate it with generic driver which gave only 32 colours and lousy letters.
Thank you so much Ivan! The auto driver detect on the Nvidia website said I had the latest available driver, but downloading 309.08 from your website allowed me to set the resolution to the proper 19201080! I have an old Dell E521 with Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE and a Dell S2209W monitor. Thank you again very much!
THANK YOU so VERY much! GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 driver update to Windows 10. I followed your directions, thank you for including the downloads for Media Creation and GeForce 309.08 driver (32).You are the GREATEST! Savings $150.00 (not having to pay for Windows 10 update).
Yes, I experienced exactly the same after applying the Windows 10 Anniversary Update recently with both driver versions you mentioned. I have a Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705 with a Geforce Go 7900 GS.I downloaded the Dell Windows 8 x64 driver (307.68) for Quadro graphics chip and added my card to the *.inf file manually as per video instructions above.
Seems to have worked on my BioStar TF7050-M2 Motherboard (GeForce 7050PV / nForce630a chipset). Only future use will tell if will be stable. I know in the past with XP if I did not stick with supported drivers from BioStar the system eventually became unstable. But I believe this will work until I go back and do a clean install of Win 7.Thanks Ivan.
I actually have a GeForce 7025 / Nvidia nForce 630a graphics card. I contacted Nvidia and they told me in no uncertain terms that this graphics chipset is not supported by Windows 10 and that there are no drivers for this for Windows 10. They said I either have to downgrade to Windows 7 or buy a new pc!
Just upgraded an HP Pavilion Media Center a1637c with NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE to Windows 10. Windows installed only the basic display driver with resolution 1024768. The NVIDIA link you supplied at the top downloads a working driver for this system: GeForce 309.08 (32-bit).Now I have 1440900. Thank you so very much!
Installed Ubuntu 22.04 on two machines with nVidia graphic card by downloading the drivers during install. No issues encountered on my laptopl Dell XPS 15 7590. Not the same on my self built Desktop where after restart I get the infamous black screen of death, not even able to repair / rescue install with boot repair. The issue was present with the previous install of 20.04 when selecting the NVIDIA legacy drivers after install, but was solved when uploading them during the installation. Tried two times with 22.04 and 510 proprietary tested drivers and both time I got the black screen after retart witn only cursor blinking after some lines of codes are displayed. Now reinstalled with the Nouveau driver.
legacy nvidia drivers are dropped a while ago because they are hard to maintain for all manjaro-kernels. So if you GPU is only supported driver version till 304 you need to use the nouveau-driver instead.
