Where are you trying to install the drivers from?

From not to, lol.

Are you trying to install from a website or through a program? Usually I can only download my drivers from GeForce Experience because the Nvidia website doesn't update the download page as often. (I got a month old driver last time and still had to update it.)

i manually downloaded the driver from nvidia website for my gpu and it couldn't find also geforce exerience cant find
im sure that my nvidia gpu is broken or not working from factory

Well if its not showing up its probably broken yeah. It's hard to fix laptop hardware like that. Take it in and see

Hi,

I have the 15 inch version of this laptop, for 7 months now.
I've been having problems with NVIDIA too, it was sometimes working and sometimes not.
I found somewhat of a solution.
First, you have to download the drivers from Lenovo site not NVIDIA, the most compatible version is not the latest one on NVIDIA, or try to update drivers from windows.
It seems though that windows does not recognise it, so try this, start up windows on battery power, then open device manager and scan for hardware changes, if it shows up update its driver from there.
If it doesn't appear at all then it's probably a hardware problem.

For me, I startup the laptop each time on battery power first, and nvidia works just fine, but if I start it up when connected to electricity then NVIDIA won't work, I don't know why but I kind of adapted.

Hope your laptop works fine.
