I ended up forcing the driver in a crude way, just for the purpose of seeing if it could work at all. I edited the inf file to change basically all of the hardware IDs in certain areas and enabled Test Signing mode. It successfully installed, but it was basically unusable. Pretty sure that RTX Laptop GPU being compatible with Windows 7 was a big lie from Nvidia, or a sloppy misfiling. I do still wonder about if anyone has gotten any RTX 30 series laptop GPU running at all on Windows 7. This experience has also made me question whether or not a 3090 TI will actually run on Windows 7, though I think I have seen someone on reddit claiming that they have that working on Windows 7. Oh well, I didn't have any touchpad drivers to make the touchpad on that laptop work on Windows 7 anyway.

Yeah, I think they screwed that up. Thanks. I saw your other post about the 3050 being released later as well and that's probably the case then... I don't have any experience with modifying .sys files, but thanks for pointing me in a direction that i can attempt. I'll try to figure it out when I have some time.

I got a laptop with RTX 3050 Laptop GPU and it won't install on Windows 7. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a notebook / laptop version of RTX 30 series to work on Windows 7. I tried following a guide to modify the drivers, but it still said that it wasn't for this version of Windows. I'm not sure if the guide I followed was more specific to a certain video card. I might give it another shot later on a different inf file, but I think that Nvidia screwed up when listing Windows 7 drivers as available for the RTX 30 series (Notebook), and it's just not available at all.
