Hiiii!
I bought a new laptop over the summer and since then I can't play Sims 2. I keep getting a Directx 9.0c message that is has failed to find any graphic adapters. I've two graphic cards, and feel like this may be the issue? I played in a Windowed mode for awhile but this doesn't seem to be working anymore either - I've tried a tonne of fixes I've googled, to no avail! Desperate to play some Sims 2 and any help would be much appreciated!

I'm still on Windows7 and will be for as long as I can. So Windows 10 is out of my knowledge base. All the things I know about, you've done. Running Sims 2 as a windowed version on Windows 10 also seems to be the correct thing to do.
Fortunately - Huge Lunatic has posted 2 links to things you can do on another thread - so I will add them here:
A guide to installing Sims 2 on Current machines
and
Installing Legacy Directx Libraries
