Asked By TechyTurtle94 On

I'm updating my old HP ProBook 450 G5 laptop and noticed that the HP website suggests downloading an "NVIDIA Video Driver and Control Panel." However, my laptop doesn't have an NVIDIA GPU at all. I'm trying to save on storage, so I'm wondering if I really need this driver or if I can skip it. Any advice would be appreciated!

According to the spec sheet for the HP ProBook 450 G5, the NVIDIA card is listed as optional. If you’re certain your laptop doesn’t have that GPU, you can totally skip downloading the drivers. It's unnecessary and will free up some storage space!

Thanks for clarifying! I was worried about using up space for nothing.
