...you don't have GeForce hardware of any sort
drivers can't work without the hardware
If what you wanted is to install GeForce Now (cloud gaming), you probably downloaded the wrong setup package
We do not troubleshoot GeForce Now-related issues in the NVIDIA Community Discord, as this will involve hardware that you do not directly use/own. We can only assist with issues with actual hardware.
You can go to this channel for the relevant server link: https://discord.com/channels/185647255028629505/1320612227279093781
then what i need to do in this case?
Depends entirely on what you’re trying to do
We do not offer support for GeForce Now
If you're asking how to get a GPU, buy a new laptop or PC with a GPU
