Uninstalling this way has caused a few more problems so i'm trying to resolve them.
After removing NVIDIA and stopping updates, upon restart it began installing a VGA adapter that was Nvidia drivers, this didn't work so i unsinstall told it NEVER to update instead of just asking. It then installed Standard VGA adapter, it now won't let me install Nvidia drivers saying i must install intel first, trying to install intel just fails, so i will have to uninstall them as well and go again.

Installing a VGA adaptor is OK, that isn't a driver. The only reason it should tell you to install Intel Graphics Driver is if it does not detect your Nvidia card. By default, the BIOS disables the Intel GPU if it detects an X16 graphics card, unless you have something like LucidLogix installed.. Go to device manager and expand display adaptors and tell me what it shows.

I think it does that because I have an Optimus laptop,
However what has happened, I fear i made it worse...
I removed the intel drivers to install them again, but now it wont install them at all anyway. not even in safe mode.
I fear i will have to reinstall windows and start all over again.

Now it see's Nvidia but doesn't have the control panel installed, and my resolution is VERY low still.

Uninstall and reinstall. I would think you wouldn't have that problem again. But why would it not detect it sometimes and detect it other times.

If i uninstall, it reinstall automatically,
I then get this new error i've never seen in my life

If we just call this install a failure, and reinstall windows and convene tomorrow.
I will reinstall another copy of windows, but do you recommend that I let windows install the drivers?
Or do you think I should get them from the Clevo (3 year old drivers)?
Or download them individually from the OEMs?
I can almost guarantee I will return with BSOD's
I will even format this partition of my HDD entirely just to give it its best chance.

I have an Laptop, much older than yours. I let Windows install the drivers for it. After doing all the updates I went to Device Manager and just looked up the drivers it didn't provide. Pretty much, I think I would at least try that. The biggest problem I think you will have is the Graphics driver. It seems to me that your computer is not recognizing the graphics card. But, if it were me, and it's not, I would try it that way. You may want to have the LAN/Wireless driver n hand and any USB 3.0 drivers. I know Windows 7 will not have 3.0 drivers. The Lan/wireless because you will need that to get on the net.
Most OEM laptops with switchable graphics, the manufacturer's will alter the graphics drivers to work with the way they implemented it. Therefore no other drivers will work. The end result is, when they stop producing drivers, you have few choices. If their old driver will not work, you have to disable at least one of the graphics adapters in order to keep it from trying to switch. That is usually where the problems arise.

The same BSOD error,
I had to install my OEM drivers cause Windows wouldn't recognize them, I had to use DRP.SU to get my PCI drivers though they were just nowhere to be found.
Hopefully this can shed some light on the situation...
