Acer Nitro50-640: How to get Arc Driver to completely install Win10

So installed Arc driver and in the events log for the driver says “igfxnd” had trouble starting. But never says “it is started.” I think this has something to do with my VIVE Cosmos Elite VR set not being detected as the display configuration it is. Windows10 seems to thing the VR set needs a “flat panel monitor (60hz)” driver for generic monitors. So I also read in the MSKB that SecureBoot can be disabled to allow installation of some GPU cards. So I did disable SB, and reinstalled the Arc Driver 4148. But didn’t do a thing. Did the DDU thing because the machine came with a Nvidia RYX3050. Still no workie. I down-graded from Win11 to Win10, cuz less bloatware interfering with gaming. I really don’t care about all that productivity MS keeps forcing on you. If I were an office person, then no prob. But I’m a gamer, hence the Nitro50 advertisement. O also learned TPM is not a standard component on retail Motherboards, so is this really that necessary for my machine? Inside the machine most everything says Intel except for the Realtek sound driver. And I also cannot turn on memory integrity. Don’t know why I need a Broadcom bluetooth driver when I am not even connecting my phone to the machine. Gamers use Discord, and phones to chat with their friends.

Do I need to find some sort of key to add to the TPM to install my Intel Arc A770? I don’t play old games and why I got the Intel. I play F1 2022, and all that driver stuff. 300fps in F1 2022, but no VR. No Intel Arc driver “completely installed (then why does it even work?)”
