Got a question, is there a difference between the download files with "notebook" in the name compared to the ones without it like:
https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/497.09/497.09-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe

They are identical, same checksum and file size

497.09-notebook-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql.exe F07A7E5D

Thanks @StefanG3D for confirming that.  I thought they had different versions of the same version number, one tailored for desktops while the other is for notebooks as wonder why they have the desktop and/or notebook in the names of the files as I remember when this site started, the INFs had to be modded before they work on mobile GPUs.
