Device manager update instructions
- Begin with stock official Apple BootCamp drivers installed (do not uninstall with DDU or use setup.exe). If you have January edition installed on your MacBook Pro 16" then you can start with these drivers instead.
- Open 'Device Manager' (search for it in the search box) and select your GPU from the 'Display adaptors' drop-down.
- Right-click and select "Update driver"
- Select "Browse my computer for drivers" (lower option) and navigate to the downloaded drivers folder. Make sure the 'Include subfolders' checkbox is ticked then click 'Next'.
- The driver will now update with the screen flickering a couple of times.
- To install the AMD software run "setup.exe" from the downloaded driver folder. Click on "Additional Options". Make sure the "Factory reset" checkbox is NOT ticked (it isn't by default normally), then click install.
- Restart and enjoy!
