    I have a dell precision t3400 with a nvidia nvs 245 (128mb ram). It came with Windows 10 installed and it was connected to a 1080p (1920x1080) wide screen. The display worked fine at the native resolution.

    I pulled the hard drive to install an SSD and re-installed windows 10. Now all it supports is 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024.

    I can't seem to find the Windows 10 64bit video drivers, or the generic Windows 10 version of the drivers that will get my resolution back.

    Does anyone know where I can find the drivers or how I fix that issue. (I want the 1920x1080) resolution back.

    Thanks.

    I had a similar problem but with AMD graphics that would not display the correct resolution in win10. I had to go into the amd control panel and disable "use extended display identification data (EDID) or driver defaults". look for something like that in the nvidia control panel.

    How did you reinstall Windows 10? Was this with the Factory reinstall Windows 10 disk or something you created? This makes a difference. Was it a factory installed Windows 10 or did you have it upgraded to Windows 10? But from what your describing it sounds like it wasn't a Native Windows 10 Factory install otherwise the Dell site would have the Window 10 drivers for it.
