Windows doen't play nice with EN210

Hi! My issue is this:

ive got a intel dg45fc mini computer which i am trying to put some life in...as the motherboard only have a mini pcie x1 slot, i want to use a nvidia en210 1gb as the troughput will be limited anyaway by the slot...i got a x16 to x1 adapter and in linux i've got it working...i've got it sown in the bios so everything should work..untill windows. 

The problem is i got it working in windows in safe mode but when i try to normaly boot windows, the video signal disappear from any video output either en210 or mboard hdmi...i managed to install nvidia drivers in win10 safe mode and in windows 7 normal but still the same result. In win7 it sows as "standard graphics adapter" before installing the driver but the resolution is stuck to 4:3 like 800x600; 1024x768 etc with aero being dead...

Another thing is that both win7 and win10 shows a PCI Simple Communication....thing with a question mark and i couldn't solve this in anyway...i did try to install Intel management engine interface but that says it is incompatible or unavailable for some reason...

if I plug the monitor to mboard hdmi everything is working but that is not the point as i am trying to get EN210 working in windows...any ideas?

wow it's a miracle, a consumer hardware device that works better with Linux than Windows!

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.
