2020 Razer Blade Pro: Nvidia 446.14 no compat hardware found

Title says it all. Games are warning about the older drivers windows push, but neither the international or DCH drivers will install for me.

Have tried safe boot with DDU to clear it out with no internet, and still no dice.

Could probably modify the INF to accept the hardware ID but i feel like i'm missing something.

Regards
Ken.

Found a fix if anybody is curious.



To find the areas you need to edit easily either search via PS or WSL/linux for your hardware id strings to find

i copied the Nvidia directory to c:\\nvidia2 so it would get deleted when i closed the failed installer.

Used WSL2/linux and ran "grep -E '1E93' *.inf" to get the file names that mentioned my HWID(watch video to understand where this is)

Edited each file to reference my hardware ID

Restart by holding shift and hitting restart button in windows

hit 7 to disable driver signature enforcement

run the local nvidia installer from your copied folder(watch video to get a visual of this)

Profit
