Windows 10: Version 24H2 and NVIDIA major conflict. What do I do?

Tried to update to Windows 11, version 24H2 and it no longer recognized the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3070 Ti Laptop GPU. I tried to install the latest NVIDIA driver but it failed saying there was no hardware on the machine for it. So I had to rollback to 23H2 and I did get my monitor back.I read on a support page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/guidance-for-updating-to-windows-11-version-24h2-on-devices-with-certain-nvidia-display-adapters-e18ab24b-3309-4dac-b967-c287c3ce28eb that NVIDIA owners MUST install Microsoft's recommended video driver BEFORE attempting to install version 24H2

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern about accessing your laptop after upgrade to Windows 10 with error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, we will help you with this issue.

Please be informed us with the following,

• Were able to see any error code along with the error message?
• Were you able to login in to the desktop?

If you are unable to log-in to the desktop, I suggest you to log-in to safe mode and try the below steps.

Method 1: I suggest you to boot the computer in Safe mode and shut down the computer and check if the issue persists.

Step 1: Start computer in safe mode.
