Windows 10: nVidia - Can Not Find Compatible Graphics Hardware

Everything was working on Windows 7.

Spec's: Onboard graphics (intel 4600), and nVidia GTX 770M.

Did a clean install of Windows 10, on a new SSD and the GTX 770M isn't even recognized as even being there. (no unknown device, etc).

Put the old HDD back in with Windows7, and the GTX 770M is still there and working fine. (So the card is NOT dead).

Did a clean install of Linux Mint 19.3 on the SSD . . . and "IT" recognizes and installs drivers for both cards.

I've downloaded the latest drivers from nVidia for "Windows 10", and I get the message:

I've even gone all the way back to the original install disk and tried installing THAT nVidia driver in compatibility mode. No Dice.

I've looked high and low, and I can not seem to find an answer to this problem.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks for the assistance.

Nvidia driver doesn't detect the graphic hardware

Did you notice that on Device Manager the Display adapter doesn't appear ?

And I tried installing the latest driver from Nvidia site and it didn't detect any compatible graphic hardware

 

Frustrating problem: nVidia installer cannot continue the graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware

I upgraded 2 days ago to windows 10, my pc meets double the requirements for the OS, but I have this problem with my Geforce 210 GPU. It is in the compatible graphics cards list, but windows 10 won't recognize it no matter what. It's not even listed as
a display adapter in device manager, but after a lot of searching, i found it is listed as "Generic pnp monitor". I tried to uninstall the drivers and install them manually but the setup keeps giving me the "nvidia installer cannot continue the graphics driver
could not find compatible graphics hardware" message, and that's because windows can't detect my graphics card. I got the latest driver from nVidia, I tried to install the geforce experience, but it gave me the same nVidia installer cannot continue message.
I tried removing the card and all the usual stuff but it doesn't work. I have tried to reinstall the OS 3 times, but it didn't work. I have a lot of knowledge about drivers and how they must be installed because i have my own pc service company, but this is
a very special case and it just looks like there's no solution for this. I have tried for 2 days in a row to fix this, but there's just not any way i know that can fix it. If somebody knows how to fix this I would really appreciate it, because I'm getting
really frustrated.

 

NVIDIA graphics not dectection

If you're updating your drivers from the Nvidia website, then before downloading the update set, it will check your Graphics card status and compatibility. If there is an error at that point, then you will need to find out more information about what graphic
card is installed.

When you go into Windows Control Panel, is there a Nvidia Control Panel listed under Hardware & Sound? Under its Help tab > System Information, details will be given about your Card.
