Question: How to install tensorflow-gpu on windows 10 with Python 3.10
conda and pip not works
anyone have idea how to install tensorflow-gpu with Python 3.10 ?
Windows 10
Python 3.10.10
I installed:
cudnn-windows-x86_64-8.9.0.131_cuda11-archive
cuda_12.1.1_531.14_windows
add to path
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.1\bin
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.1\libnvvp
conda create --name cuda
conda activate cuda


(cuda) C:\Users\xxx>python -V
Python 3.10.10


(cuda) C:\Users\xxx>conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow-gpu

i found a solution with pycharm and ubuntu in windows but i don't want to do it.

Answer: I think you should downgrade python version to 3.9 and using conda install tensorflow-gpu
