DxDiag
Here is the DxDiag on my laptop:

@WallFlower26 The point is to remove all drivers currently installed, then install exactly one driver each for the Intel integrated graphics chip and the Nvidia dedicated graphics card.

On the instructions to uninstall the extras where it says 'and double-click the DDU.exe' double click it where?
You download Display Driver Uninstaller, it lands in your Downloads folder, and then when you're ready, you go into Downloads and double-click the downloaded .exe file.
I don't know what old-games.com is. This laptop would run Sims 3 easily, and likely Sims Medieval, and it would probably run Sims 2 and the original Sims if you were willing to put in some work to make the games run correctly. The driver issues would still be there regardless of what game you were playing.
@puzzlezaddicthow do I know what Intel Driver to install?
@WallFlower26 I linked the driver for you already, a few posts ago. But there's a newer one available now:

@puzzlezaddict But there’s 2
@WallFlower26 From that same page:
Notes
- Self-installing format (.exe) is the easiest installation method and our recommendation.
- Manual installation format (.zip) is intended for developers and IT professionals.
See the ReleaseNotes for installation instructions, supported hardware, and more.
@puzzlezaddict I’m terrified I’m going to do it wrong.
@WallFlower26 I understand that, but the Intel driver installer is built to handle its business with minimal input from the user. If the driver install goes wrong, it's likely because there was already something so wrong with state of the driver that the installer couldn't fix or remove the problem. That probably sounds intimidating, but the point is that either the install goes fine, or you already had a big problem that needed to be addressed, and this is how you find out.
