Thank you for the modded driver, this makes me want to take out my old W7 PC and give it a try ! Maybe you should be more specific?
Using the Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON command worked fine for me. NVIDIA driver version 474.30 successfully installed in all 4 of my desktops which have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (updated to March 2023). I can live with the small watermark in the lower right corner.
Watermark can be removed easily. But there could be issue with some applications which can detect you are in testing mode and app simply stop working. But Thats specific applications group
Does anyone know if a newer driver can be modded to run on an older card just by adding the missing card to the .inf file? I have a GTX460 running the latest supported drivers (391.35). Since the Quadro 392.xx are from a previous branch, I was wondering if there's a newer one that can be modded to run without major stability issues.

Spoiler: Original posting in German Ich nutze nvSlimmer auch, der nimmt die ungewollten Teile raus und installiert den Rest, oder packt es wieder zu einem Paket zusammen. Mehr nicht. Händisch geht es auch, ist aber fehleranfällig und aufwendig, z. B. bei nvContainer Telemetrie. I'm also using nvSlimmer, it removes the unwanted parts and installs the rest, or repacks it into a new installer. Nothing more. Yes, manually it works, too, but is more error-prone and needs some effort, e. g. with nvContainer Telemetry.
Info: Installing 474.66 via canonkongs method works but... Virtualbox 6.1.42 denies 3D support with "Code43" on the VboxSVGA adapter due to the hardening loader failing on nvd3dumx.dll with CERT_E_CHAINING. Same signature problem. Just to save some folks a few hours of searching
