Tip Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 10

 

I feel sorry for those people who are unfortunate enough to have 32 bit versions of W10.

:)

 

Loading up problem

Luckily your gfx card has Windows 10 drivers by Nvidia.

NViDiA DRiVERS 64-bit Windows 10

NViDiA DRiVERS 32-bit Windows 10

Please select the appropriate drivers for your Windows installation, either 32-bit 0r 64-bit.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

 

having a problem upgrading from Windows 7 Pro 32-bit to Windows 10

I'm currently running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit, and the Free Windows 10 Upgrade Advisory informed me that the driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE display adapter was a old driver that was not supported in Windows 10. It further suggested I check with the NVIDIA
folks for an NVIDIA driver that would work with Win 10. I did, and downloaded NVIDIA GeForce 309.08 32-bit driver, powered down and rebooted my system so that new driver would be recognized.

I have run the entire Windows 10 Upgrade process twice with the same results. The install runs to completion, automatically rebooting a couple of times as the "window" tells you will happen, and then at the end of the process I get the little blue Windows
10 Install screen with the error message that follows - "Windows 10 Install was unsuccessful - Error
0xC1900101-0x20017 The installation failed in SAFE_OS Phase3 with an error during boot operation."

I tried, but failed, to find a description of the error code 0xC1900101-0x20017 .

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is causing my issue?

 

Good. Hopefully this will clear some codes and improve the quality of the drivers in the future. And while you're at it nVidia, for the love of snowmen, update the controlpanel to anno 2017/18. Its 02 style is slow AF on modern hardware due to its single-threaded workflow.

 

It's not a great loss, because it's time for 32bits to die. Only very old pcs are 32bits now, and these will still have support from WU I think.

 

I agree Nvidia control panel looks like a program from the year 2000. Also it is so slow. I don't even bother to go in there at all.

 

I do believe that many companies are going to do this.

Just keeping up on 64 bit drivers only should bring down the cost for companies.
Realistically, at this time in the life of computers, 32 bit is going like the Dodo bird.

Dropping 32-bit support isn't going to make the product any better. Also there are still lots of reasons why someone or a company is still running a 32-bit OS, one of them is being an old legacy 16 bit application. I know they can virtualize and all that, but still there is a cost that comes with that.

 

I think you'll find that most of that legacy software is running on legacy hardware that already has working 32 bit drivers. Hardware that their not running Windows 10 on anyway. And hardware they aren't in any hurry to upgrade, unless it fails, etc. Just my 2 cents.

 

I run it on my Dell Windows 10 tablet. No need for a 64bit OS on there.
