Installing NVIDIA GPU Drivers without display output
- Download NVIDIA drivers and extract NVIDIA Installer content with 7-Zip or WinRAR to a folder and name it NVIDIA then move that folder to the root of your external drive that you are going to attach to the computer w/o display output.
- After booting up the computer and getting to desktop, Press Win+R and type
cmd
then press ENTER. - Press Ctrl+G then press ENTER, you should hear a ping sound that means you opened command line successfully.
- Type
X:\NVIDIA\setup.exe -noreboot -clean -noeula -nofinish -passive
where X is your attached drive letter. if the computer has only one partition/drive, replace with D, if the computer has 2 partition/drive, replace with E. and so on. - After few minutes you should get display output, if that doesn't happen then repeat from step 2.
