I bought this laptop a while ago and wanted to upgrade its graphics card. I went with the 1070m and I've installed it into the laptop with no problem. I've installed the vbios for it and am trying to install the drivers. I know I need to have a modified driver for it to work but have yet to find one. Tried to modify one myself but when it goes to install, it says that I do not have the compatible windows or hardware. I'm new to computers, so I don't know where to go from here. These are my specs: GT70 2pc Dominator i7-4810MQ CPU 2.80GHz with a GTX 870m before the swap

Just like the title says, I cant get the driver to install. I'm on Windows 10 x64 release 160906. The card works in 1920 x 1080 with the windows vga drivers. I've disabled driver signing, I'm in test mode. I've tried the nvidia driver versions, 365.19, 372.54, 372.70, 372.90. With modded inf's for each from laptopvideo2go.com They all start the install, but when it gets to the driver install, the screen goes black for about 30 seconds, then the computer just reboots. The drivers don't get installed. I've seen a bunch of threads around about Windows 8, but nothing that seems to answer for windows 10. Is there something that I'm missing to get the drivers installed? Update, found this thread. I got the drivers installed following the directions, but after rebooting back into normal mode, the computer just reboots. I see the windows logo, screen goes black, then after about 30 seconds, it just reboots. This was using the 372.90 and inf files from the thread.
