Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams

Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. 

The 353.62 driver from Nvidia refused to install. Other thoughts?

I have the same issue with a bunch of Dell Latitude D820 notebooks having the Quadro NVS120m. "No compatible hardware."

What's really infuriating is the display was working just fine until the 4th build before RTM. Then, all of a sudden, either you could get the resolution but Start was broken and title bars were non-existent; or you accept the crappy 4:3 1990s display.

MICROSOFT: UNDO WHATEVER YOU DID AND WORK WITH NVIDIA AND/OR DELL TO GET THIS FIXED. There are countless older machines that will run W10 perfectly fine if you don't force them to break for no reason other than you want people to buy new hardware.

i have the same laptop Dell D620 running win10.

best way to find driver is by their hardware IDs. if you look into device manager/display adapter/properties/detail/hardwareID you can see, that our NVS 110S have hwID: 

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_01D7&SUBSYS_01C21028&REV_A1

than you can go to site like laptopvideo2go.com and find driver by hwID. newest one is 179.68.

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers?dev=01D7&sub=01C21028&whql=0&lang=0&orderby=version&dir=desc&os=

than you need to run this driver in compatibility mode for Vista64 (or whatever driver you downloaded). you can find more here: http://ccm.net/faq/24611-installing-a-driver-in-compatibility-mode-in-windows-7

this driver is more stable than those for nvidia7300, specially while playing video with no artefacts.
