    Can I install "unsigned" Win 8 driver for monitor on Win 10?


    I have an Asus ProArt PA248Q monitor that is showing as "Generic PnP Monitor" in the Device Manager.
    I'm trying to update it to the manufacturer drivers but the only one they have is the Win 8 64-bit but whenever I try to update the driver, it tells me it is digitally unsigned and therefore will not complete the install.

    Is there anyway around and is it safe to do so?
    Just really wanting the device to show as the Asus monitor, not just a Generic PnP.

    :)

    Win 10 boots...

    I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
    My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

    Fresh Install of Win 10 without Serial Key?

    Looking to reformat a laptops HDD, and then reinstall Win 10 fresh. The problem is it came pre-installed with Win 8 and I did the free upgrade to Win 10. How exactly would I re-format the HDD, reinstall Win 10 and ensure it reactivates properly? I don't see a Win 8 serial key anywhere in the contents of the box.

    Can I install "unsigned" Win 8 driver for monitor on Win 10?

    So now that I installed Win 10...cost!

    When Win 8 came out I did something similar to what is going on here with 10.
    I had Win 7 installed and downloaded a pre-release version of 8.
    I ran Win 8 pre-release for awhile and then the actual final releaseiwas then offered for some real low price like $17.00 US so I grabbed it.
    As I didn't like it I went back to Win 7.

    Recently Win 8.1 came out so I re-installed Win 8 to take advantage of upgrading to 8.1 for free.
    I thought 8.1 was much better and decided to keep using it.

    Now along comes Win 10 and here I am really liking it.
    Now all we need is a great price when they get all the bugs out and release the final debugged copy.
