Walkthrough Fresh AI Setup (Windows 11 / NVIDIA)

Added 2024-07-18 03:57:01 +0000 UTC

In this tutorial, I walk through a fresh install of Windows 11 (fresh w/ keeping documents). This can be good when your system gets too gummed up and you want to start at scratch. (NOTE: Virtual environments can help you avoid this - watch my other videos on Conda and Python venv).

This tutorial doesn't shy away from small roadbumps but rather shows you how to use ChatGPT to solve mysteries. Great example of how to get a system up and running.

If you'd like to watch a more procedural set up of the basics, watch our AI Essentials video here:

In this tutorial, I set-up my own system with:

Nvidia Driver
Nvidia CUDA
Nvidia CUDNN

WinRar
FFMpeg
Chrome
Klite Codec Pack
Github
