From CUDA 11.8 to 12.8: Clean Installation for Smooth Upgrades

In this video, we’re upgrading from CUDA 11.8 (or other versions) to 12.8 with a clean installation. While 11.8 has been a solid choice for the majority of open-source AI software we’ve been using, the time has come for a change. More and more newer applications are starting to require CUDA 12.8, and we’re here to make sure your system is ready for that shift.

The benefits include a lesser reliance on WSL.

This isn’t just a quick update—it’s a precise process. We’ll walk through each step carefully to avoid the common errors that can happen during upgrades. By following this method, you’ll ensure your system is set up for a smooth transition and ready to handle the next generation of AI tools.

Be sure to follow these steps in order to ascertain a clean transtition.
