NVIDIA Geforce GO 6150 windows 8 Driver Installation
(Q: can i use hp driver other than compaq/hp model?
A: Yes, but you are responsible for you own action if it is illegal)


1. Download original Vista drivers from your manufacture. Here i provide a driver which can be use for this installation (i believe it will work on most hp/compaq model which use the 6150 GPU). For other model i will try my best to update the driver list. I am familiar with HP model so it is easy for me to get the drivers.
