What Happens If I Uninstall My Graphics Card

Yesterday, I decided to upgrade my NVIDIA graphics driver to the latest version because the one included in my Windows 10 90-day trial is quite outdated.So I made an unforgivable mistake - I uninstalled the driver natively installed in Win 10 because I was sure it would be impossible to install a new driver over the old one - the result is the following: The OS (meaning neither the Device Manager nor theinstaller of the latest driver) has become unable to detect my graphics card. Intel-integrated graphics works yet, though.But since I'm a heavy and notorious gamer, Full HD movie fan and also rely on my GPU to do performance demanding tasks - the on-board graphics in my Lenovo laptop are simply too weak for my purposes. Can anyone help me fixing this issue?Additional information on my setup:-Windows 10 Enterprise Evaluation-Version: 1709-OS Build: 16299.192-64-bit processor/64-bit Win 10-16 GB DDR3 RAM-Intel Core i7-4700MQ (2.39 GHz)-No pen or touchscreen input devices installed-Device ID: 32E7CB62-45C6-4A29-A8BD-901DC64A520C-Basic telemetry settings-Location services disabled-IPv6 access not available(because of my ISP), therefore only IPv4 networkingNotice: My display name is 'linuxandwindowsuser' because I also use Fedora (64-bit) on an almost equal Lenovo laptop next to the Win 10 one.

Pretty much title I'll be uninstalling my old GTX 660 drivers, turning PC off. Select 'Clean and Shutdown (For installing a new graphic card).' Driver files should always be uninstalled before updating to newer drivers or when removing an older NVIDIA card and replacing it with a newer card. To uninstall your current NVIDIA Display Drivers from your system, follow these steps: 1) Go into your Control Panel 2) Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.

If you have switchable graphics you need the full Nvidia software package, which should come from the PC's Downloads page since it might be customized.I hope this helps.
