    Hey Bruce, so I have an Alienware as well and when I go to my device manager it only shows the Intel 4600 as the display adapter. When I go to view on the toolbar and click show hidden hardware, i can see the Nvidia graphics card appear but I don't know what to do from this point. I don't know anything about BIOS or how to revert to an old one. All I know is I can't seem to download Nvidia drivers or the program. Can you guys help?

    Thanks. This advice worked for me. I tried all the other advice and nothing worked until I reinstalled the latest dell BIOS.

    I am following the three steps to force Windows to detect the missing Nvidia GeForce 330M graphics card installed in my Vaio VPLC13S1E all-in-one desktop.

    1st.  I have successfully installed Windows 10 on the Vaio VPLC 13S1E

    2nd. The Microsoft Basic Display Adapter has become the default graphics display.  No sign of NVidia in device manager.  Or in Step 2 looking for hardware that is not visible.

    3rd. I have uninstalled NVidia 266.18 Graphics Driver and GeForce Experience 2.14 from the Programs.

    4th. In control panel the NVidia Control Panel remains but when clicked the wheel spins a few seconds then stops.  Nothing happens.

    I have tried installing device drivers for NVidia 361.43 (win 10 32 bit), 341.81 (win 10 64 bit) and 341.92 (win 10 64 bit)

    They all produce the NVidia installer cannot continue. The graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.- (error as shown at the start of this thread)

    Any suggestions as to how I can make the hardware appear in device manager - or which drivers might work?
