Okey, so I formatted my old laptop. New windows copy. Some drivers, cause of windows10 got downloaded automatically. nvidia control panel wasnt showing so i decided to download the latest drivers cause that could be the issue. I downloaded the latest driver and performed a clean install through nvidia's driver installation wizard. well.. with the latest drivers, nvidia control panel wont show up, so i decided to downgrade. I installed the version just before the latest one, and guess what, nvidia control panel is here again. now though, my gpu wont show up on dxdiag (it shows up on the device manager). Also with every driver version i tried, first, it wouldnt show up my GPU on dxdiag, and it would also crash fortnite as soon as i clicked launch. What is up? is there something wrong with windows installation? is my gpu broken or what? xDD..



Specs: i3-2350m GT 740m 4gb ram 480gb toshiba drive 64bit

If I understand it correctly some Windows 8.1 drivers should be fine with Windows 10 (because there was no need to update them). This does assume the product is still supported. As for wanting Windows 10 drivers when they don't seem to be available will be something you would need to ask Clevo about.

The question is whether the graphics card requires a bespoke driver from the laptop manufacturer rather than Nvidia (I would guess for the graphics processor switching required). That I can offer no insight.

Additionally, have you tried DDU for the clean installation of drivers? Something to consider if you haven't.
