Hello I have a custom built PC that I just finished building and I am having troubles installing the Nvidia GTX drivers for my 1080 card. When I try to install it I get an error saying that the current driver does not meet the requirements of my system. I used the Geforce Experience application to install it but that did not work, I then went to Nvidia's site myself and got the driver manually and that also did not work. I have no idea what the issue could be, this is a brand new build and the newest Windows 10 Home updates. I used the CD that came with the motherboard, it installed a bunch of drivers including the graphics drivers too but that didn't work correctly and so I unisntalled all the graphics drivers and now I am stuck and don't know what to do.

Here is my part list. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/9MLrvV

I can get you the files in an hour or so as I am not at the workstation right now. But what do you think might the issue be?

Not sure. Seeing the error and more info helps in many ways. Sometimes it hints to something but it is weird that the official driver is not working. I have only run into it if the GPU is but you also normally end up with crashing.

Might be SLI related. Do you have both SLI bridged connected or did you buy the SLI HB Bridge?

What I did is tried with a EVGA SLI bridge first for the two cards and then when that didn't work I just used the one card and then that didn't work I tried to twitch the two cards and that also did not work.

I can't get the picture right now but when I try to install the driver a window pops-up from the Nvidia Graphics Driver shows saying, "This driver is not compatible with this version of Windows". Even tho I selected the one by hand and also when I did it within the control panel it downloaded the same driver and said the same thing.

Problem : Graphic cards ( Like Gtx 1060, 1070, 1080 and others ) are not recognize by Windows 10 and you've got the following messages :
"Installation cant continue", "This Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows" For English.
"L'installation ne peut pas se poursuivre", "Ce pilote graphique NVIDIA n'est pas compatible avec cette version de Windows" in French

Ok guys the solution is simple. You are probably using an old version of win 10 ( maybe 10240 called v1507 ) and u need to install the last version. I mean a version above 10586 called v1511. This last version sometime can not be installed by classic update process so :

1- In the cortana bar type "winver" and check the version of win 10 that you are using.
2- If you dont see a version like 10586 or above Click on "update now" on this page "https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10" For English.
2b- Click on "mettre à jour" on this page "http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows10" for French.
3- When the update is done re-install your Graphics drivers.

Well that's odd. When I go to the NVidia site it only has an option for Windows 10, although it does notate under the driver that it is the driver for the Anniversary edition.

I still find it odd that they didn't package it to include all versions of 10 or have an option like 8.1 did.

Glad it is working though.

Hi,
I had the same problem installing the driver for a Ge-Force 1060.

My config is:

i7 4770M, 16gb Ram 1600Mhz, Ge-Force 1060 GTX Gigabite, SSD 128GB samsung.

What happened was that, i first installed windows seven Pro with all the drivers for 7, then I made an update to win 10 1511 release with an ISO file using daemon tools, and then I updated it the same way to win 1607 anniversary..

The issue appeared while i wanted to install the graphic drivers as the system told me that the current driver does not meet the requirements of my pc. What i've seen is that the old drivers from seven are still being on the system. So what I did is making a brand new installation of windows 10 anniversary to clean all the background files from 7. and it did work.

Hope this helps for you.
