Windows 10: Geforce GT 640 graphics driver won't install

Hi. I have a pre-built Asus desktop computer that came with OEM Geforce GT 640. The desktop came with Windows 8. In the past I upgraded to Windows 10. However, I just recently got an SSD (upgrade from HDD) and want to start fresh. If I install windows 8 from the media that came with my computer, then the graphics card is detected and works. (Can't get it to upgrade from windows 8 to win 10 though anymore, not sure why, but I know I've been able to in the past).

So I've tried to install windows 10 fresh, which works and activates fine. The only thing busted though is the graphics card drivers. When using either the correct driver manually chosen from NVidia's website, *or* the GeForce experience, I always get a message about the setup not finding any compatible hardware. So no drivers get installed. I found this link and will try: https://www.igadgetsworld.com/how-to...hics-hardware/ ... but I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has any good ideas.

I also tried using drivers from Asus' own website. Again, no dice. *Sad

Any ideas?

Update: I got windows 8 (where graphics drivers were working) to update to windows 10 (but graphics drivers no longer worked). Win10 Windows update says an Nvidia driver update is there, and tries to apply it, but it fails with error code 0x80070002.

Again, I tried to install the official latest WHQL drivers from nvidia's site, the error message is "NVidia Installer cannot continue / This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware"


Update: all of these times I've been trying to use Windows 10 build 1803.

driver for your operation system.

Could you please let me know the next step for fixing the trouble of graphic card ??

 

Graphics driver "requires further installation."

Hi Michael,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience that you are facing, I will be glad to you help you.

The issue could be if the drivers are either not updated or get corrupted. So, I would suggest you to update the display drivers and see if it helps you to fix the issue.

Method 1: Update display adapter driver.

Step 1: Check for the latest driver update through Windows Updates.

• 
  At the Start screen, type
  Windows Update.
  
• 
  Click or tap Settings on the right side of the screen, and then select
  Install optional updates from the left results.
  
• 
  When the Windows Update control panel opens, click on “Check for Updates” on the top left corner to receive a fresh list of updates.
  
  Incompatible or not properly installed graphics card drivers are the most common cause of this issue.
  

Step 2: Follow the steps below to update the graphics/display drivers.

• Press Windows + X key on the keyboard.
• Go to device manager.
• Right-click your display device.
