Getting warning about old pytorch version but have 2.4 installed

[MrMajorThorburn]

Getting Warning when running run_nvidia_gpu.bat in windows system.
Warning, you are using an old pytorch version and some ckpt/pt files might be loaded unsafely. Upgrading to 2.4 or above is recommended.
pytorch version: 2.3.1+cu118

but the version from
pip show torch shows
Name: torch
Version: 2.4.0

Is it possible there is an older version installed somewhere else in the path.
I ask as that seems to me to be the only answer and in which case how do I find it and remove it?

You have to run
python_embeded\python -m pip show torch
to show the version of torch comfyui is using. Your command shows the version of torch in the global cache.

python_embeded\python -m pip install -U torch==2.7.0 torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
will update torch to the latest stable version.

Since a lot of changes have happened since, you may want to re-download the zip in Releases to ensure you have the latest everything.

Thanks I was not aware of running in a specific folder.
I have upgraded torch but also had to upgrade torchaudio and torchVision
now I get
AssertionError: Torch not compiled with CUDA enabled
I tried
python -m pip install torch==2.4.0 torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/test/cu124 --upgrade
and got
ERROR: Cannot install torch==2.4.0, torchvision==0.19.0+cu124, torchvision==0.19.1+cu124, torchvision==0.20.0+cu124, torchvision==0.20.1+cu124 and torchvision==0.21.0+cu124 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
Can someone tell me where I can find what versions of torchaudio and torchvision I need for torch 2.4.0

Why didn't you run the command I gave???

Open cmd in comfyui_portable_windows folder by navatigating to said folder and typing "cmd" in the location bar and hitting enter.

In the terminal window that opens, copypaste the following command;
python_embeded\python -m pip install -U torch==2.7.0 torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128
and hit enter.
