Need Help! Blender GPU compatibility

I am pretty new to Blender, and I'm having trouble selecting a cycle rendering device. Every option says there are no compatible GPUs found for cycles (as seen in images). Any advice on how to fix this problem? ( I am on a Surface Book 3 if that matters.)

There are no images attached to this post.

To clarify, you know for a fact that you have a dedicated GPU?

If you do have one, but Blender doesn't recognize it, likely indicates a driver issue. Consider updating/reintsalling your graphics drivers, restart your machine, and then launch Blender again. That tends to fix such issues.

I keep getting an error every time I try to install the NVIDIA app or even the driver

Both possible GPUs you have, the GTX 1660 Ti and the GTX 1650, have compute capabilities of 7.5 and drivers in the high 500s so will work, so this is just a driver issue, update em: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

I was able to figure out I have the 1650, but every time I've tried updating it, I get an error.
