17 R3, Windows 11, no longer supports AGA?

I bought the Alienware 17 R3 computer with the AGA (Alienware Graphics Amplifier). It all worked fine with Windows 8.1. The computer died so I got another 17 R3 with Windows 10 and upgraded to Windows 11. Now it seems that I cannot use my AGA because Dell does not support AGA anymore. Windows 10 was the last update. So now I have a 17 R3 that overheats, and a useless AGA with an equally useless 2070 card (the same in the computer). Isn't modern technology wonderful and expensive? I just want to go back to Windows 10. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi @Bleep13 welcome to this free user to user Alienware laptop discussion forum. This is not Dell Support. 

Please have a look at Alienware Graphic Amplifier (AGA) and the RTX 3000 Ti Series - My Experience : Alienware (reddit.com) Note they are running Windows 11 and the NVidia Game Read 511.79 drivers released 02/14/2022, so the very most recent. 

The Alienware Graphics Amplifier driver update Version: 7.0.4 (28 January 2021) runs on Windows 11 and was last downloaded on 25 June 2022. Alienware graphics amplifier driver update (neutechcomputerservices.com)

that worked (i guess) perfectly. no screens saying it can't boot up, everything right in device manager, so i guess it's working. thank you SO much for your help.

Do you have another link to the Alienware Graphics Amplifier driver update Version: 7.0.4 drivers? the link that you have is now a scam and just downloads a "driver booster 9 installer"
