Downloading a GeForce driver for a laptop is slightly different from a desktop PC, because laptop makers often customise their systems. NVIDIA offers drivers for laptop GPUs on its official site, so you can usually install them directly.
Select GeForce, then the notebook version of your card series, then your exact GPU model and Windows version. Many laptops also have integrated graphics from Intel or AMD that handle simple tasks, with the NVIDIA GPU switching on for demanding apps, so make sure you pick the correct dedicated card.
Be aware that some manufacturers recommend their own drivers, which may include special settings for power, cooling or switching between graphics modes. If you have a problem after installing the generic driver, check your laptop brand's support page for a model-specific version. Keep the laptop plugged in during installation and avoid interrupting it. After restarting, test a game or graphics app to confirm that the NVIDIA GPU is being used, which you can see in the Windows graphics settings.
