From CUDA 11.8 to 12.8: Clean Installation for Smooth Upgrades
Added 2025-02-18 00:22:04 +0000 UTCIn 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 transition.

Lol looking at this again I realized I misread your original quote. But I got your last message so yeah everything's good. The installer is updated as you noted

Cuda is the big software that is installed that allows for lower versions of cuda toolkit to be installed. So we updated cuda itself but can still use the lower version cuda tool kits. Or in short, your software will still work
