What Display Driver works properly with Windows 10 on the Alienware 18 780m SLI notebook?
After seeing the following on the Product Support page for a Alienware 18 (Mid 2013) notebook I upgraded to Windows 10 but neither the Windows 10 x64 display driver listed on the laptops Dell Product Support page nor the latest Nvidia Official drivers for 780m on Windows 10 are working properly.
"Windows 10 upgrade available
Dell has tested this product to confirm that it can upgrade to Windows 10."
The display adapters are showing in Device Manager with an exclamation mark and the information says "the device is not working properly".
I've rebooted after every install and chosen "Perform Clean Installation" when available for each time I tried a different driver.
The Nvidia Control Panel does not load at startup and the resolution is defaulted to 1024 by 768.
So if this laptop has been confirmed with testing to work with Windows 10 I would like to know which Display Driver they used during that testing.

It probably won't affect it but did you update the BIOS? Also check if any other driver is missing?

BIOS for the System Board is current with what is available on the Product Support page, I'm not sure about the video cards themselves.
