The 'new' way to install tensorflow GPU if you have Nvidia, is with Anaconda. Works on Windows too. With 1 line.

conda create --name tf_gpu tensorflow-gpu 

This is a shortcut for 3 commands, which you can execute separately if you want or if you already have a conda environment and do not need to create one.

1. Create an anaconda environment conda create --name tf_gpu

2. Activate the environment activate tf_gpu

3. Install tensorflow-GPU conda install tensorflow-gpu

You can use the conda environment.
