8I7HNK/8I7HVK Hades Canyon "Radeon RX Vega M" Manual Driver

This is intended as a "stopgap" solution to the Hades Canyon AMD driver shortage.

I did not develop this solution.  A user on the AMD forum did.  He is  jcmlsn on the AMD forum and I believe he is the same on the Intel forum:   @jcmlsn    I want to acknowledge his effort in putting this procedure together.  And, there is a another user on the Intel forum who has also been successful at developing a procedure to update the Hades Canyon AMD graphics ( @powerarmour ). 

We should all thank them for their efforts. 

Also, I am not a fan of these types of procedures, especially those involving registry edits.  However, after eight months of dynamic inaction, it appears there is little choice except to do this manual install while we wait for the AMD driver issue to be resolved.  My sons each have a Hades Canyon, and I am told there are games that they are unable to use because of updated drivers not being available.

I have tried this procedure on my Hades Canyon and it works.  Review the procedure a couple of times to make sure you understand it. Doing this type of procedure is at your own risk.

I would add, for the jcmlsn procedure,  if you want to run the Radeon software, make sure you follow the instructions in step 9.

As always, be patient while doing the update.  And, you will require two reboots.  After that, you will be on the latest version of the AMD driver for Hades Canyon.
