Earlier I received a MSI 1080 courtesy of OCUK.

Meanwhile, I also completed a case and motherboard swap project to my new Fractal 804.

I popped the SSD from my old PC into the 804 and Gigabyte H97M-D3H as I wanted to do a quick test to make sure the PC booted etc, and it worked perfectly I was able to boot into windows, and my MSI 1080 worked fine.

I wanted a clean OS, so reinstalled W10 but when I try to install the latest Nvidia driver I get error during the system compatibility check -

"The Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with your version of windows"

I have W10 64-bit, and obtained the W10 64-bit driver from Nvidia

*I updated all of the available motherboard drivers
*I found that a number of PCI references were in need of manual update via device manager, I have since updated each of those
*I have tried alternate Nvidia drivers
*I reinstalled W10, in case it was a broken install
*Tried manual update of the driver
*Tried Windows Update of Nvidia driver
*Reseated 1080

Currently I am getting the big W10 Pro update, but does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this driver to install on W10 64bit?
 
Do you definitely have X64 or do you have X86 that a lot of people confuse with X64 but is actually only a 32bit OS easy way to double check is right click the start button and press " system " it will tell you in there :)

Just ruling it out :)

Apparantly this may be due to my W10 version being build 10240, by all accounts I need to be on 1511 10586 version.

I will update after windows update completes, despite being on 150MB cable this update is taking forever to download..!
