Windows 10 bootcamp nvidia drivers update

Hi, I am running a late 2013 27" iMac bootcamped with windows 10 with nvidia gtx775m graphics.


How can I update the nvidia drivers in windows? I have version 425.31 installed which was released 4th of November 2019. I can not get any newer versions for some reason. Does anyone know why or how I can update drivers?


As much of a bad experience as it is (due to the outdated graphics card), there are some games that I play but am now unable to as the game says I need newer drivers to launch the game and play it.


Thanks in advance for anyone's help.


Justin.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

The reason you are getting the BitLocker message is because of the WinRE (Windows Recovery) partition. Assuming we want to remove Windows


  • Disconnect all external storage.
  • Run
    • diskutil eraseVolume free free disk1s4
  • Run BC Assistant and click on Continue -> Remove/Restore
  • Ensure that removal was successful
  • Run SMC and NVRAM Reset
  • Re-run BC Assistant, and connect a USB2 Flash drive if prompted to use one
  • Try to install Windows

I have admitted defeat in this and have decided to remove the boot camp as the only reason I have windows on there is to play games. Now that I can’t do that I will remove it. I try to do this and boot camp is telling me it can’t see the windows partition saying that bit locker may be on. I logged back in to windows and I have bit locker disabled. So now I can’t remove boot camp. Last time I had an issue like this I tried removing the windows partition with the disk utility and it caused major issues and I spent 3 hours on the phone with Apple trying to repair the broken partition and ended up having to wipe the whole computer clean and starting again. I do not wish to do this again. I’m ready to throw this thing in the bin! I also no longer have support for this Mac (being 7 years old) so Apple won’t help me at all which is absolute horse $&@%

Ok, so I have erased that recovery partition but boot camp is not giving me an option to Remove/Restore.

When I run boot camp this is the options I have and what it gives me when I choose the only one that says anything about removing windows.

Minimum Specifications

Here are the minimum specs needed to play Call of Duty: Warzone:

OS: Windows 7 64-Bit (SP1) or Windows 10 64-Bit

CPU: Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300

RAM: 8GB RAM

HDD: 175GB HD space

Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 / GeForce GTX 1650 or Radeon HD 7950

DirectX: Requires DirectX 12 compatible system

Network: Broadband Internet connection

Sound Card: DirectX Compatible


I have

Windows 10

i7 quad core cpu

16gb ram

more than enough hdd space

GTX 775M


I know its very low specs but higher specs than they say and it does run the game as I have been playing it since it came out end of last year (how ever poorly it runs it, it still runs it)


It has just all of a sudden told me that now my gpu drivers are not new enough and I can no longer run the game.

Send it to me. 😉.


Seriously though, it is possible to remove Windows safely, without getting into trouble, if you choose to use Disk Utility.


Can you post the output of


diskutil list


and I can provide steps to do it cleanly.
