Hi, i'm having problems installing the latest Nvidia drivers (368.39-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql) for my newly bought GTX 1070 FE.

I have Windows 10 Home 64 bits.

Up to now, i had 2 Radeon 6950 in CF. I uninstalled all AMD/ATI drivers and folders in my machine, as indicated here. I then unplugged the radeons, plugged in the 1070, and i get POST, i get into Windows, but when i try to install the Nvidia drivers i get from the installer an error message that says "This NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows" (i'm translating from Spanish, exact wording in English might differ).

So the Device manager only shows a "Basic Microsoft display adapter", and GPU-Z only recognizes some of the features of the card:

Would anybody know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Yeah actually I've heard that there were some issues on the november rollout. All's good in the end, with a pre 1511 you were sitting on a pretty insecure windows. After running windows update to make sure you are upto date, i would try the DDU uninstall + manual driver install again. Just to make sure, run the installer as admin.
