Hi,

I recently downgraded to Windows 7 (from win 8.1) and after installing the necessary drivers I'm left with the issues of graphics and function keys...

My laptop won't let me install the Nvidia graphics driver I've tried 361.91 (latest). I've also tried a couple lower versions none work. It says the graphics card is not compatible with the driver for this OS. (even though that is the exact one I need for the laptop!) Win7 x64 for GT750M

The fn keys work with the energy management driver except the brightness wont go down its stuck on max.

What can I do to fix the graphics problem? Please help!

Hi,

Please do try installing the graphics driver from Lenovo's support site first and see if that will work.

Here's the link for the Nvidia driver from Lenovo:

Windows 7 64bit: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/0tsl01ww.exe

Once installed do try updating the graphics driver from Nvidia's support site.

Here's the link: http://www.geforce.com/drivers

If all these will not work try doing this clean install method which uses a tools to delete anything related to Nvidia before installing a fresh copy of driver.
