AMD Graphics Drivers
AMD Software Adrenalin 25.10.2 Drivers
Since it looks like AMD has dropped Win10 support for some cards? Here is some of the last Win10 drivers:
AMD Software Adrenalin 25.9.1
AMD Software Adrenalin 25.8.1
The question mark above is my confusion. The page linked to only mentions Win11 support but the file it links to is:
