There used to be a program inside the control panel that would allow me to set my main display so my main display would be in front of me and not over to the left.  I need to be able to set my primary display.  
I am not even sure what drivers I am supposed to install I assume its the 10 series. 
So anyway is there a way to set my primary display now.  ?  Have I missed installing some utility.  I see there is geforce experience that wants me to join and sign up to yet another place. but does nothing to help me set my primary display.  I have never seen a video card that would not allow you to choose the primary display.  ??

    it appears I will need to physically move my monitor so the main monitor is in the right place.  I do not get why the control panel app is no longer installed with the driver.  Maybe its in a different application.  ?

    Remove your current display drivers with display driver uninstaller (ddu), and then install this driver. The nvidia control panel should now be back, and you should be able to set your primary display in the setup multiple displays menu inside the nvidia control panel.

    If at any time for whatever reason you loose the NVIDIA Control Panel and it doesn't shortly (within 5 minutes or so) auto-download and auto-install, or you don't get a pop-up notification telling you "NVIDIA Control Panel is not found, click here to install NVIDIA Control Panel from Microsoft store" you can just simply install it yourself from the Microsoft Store.

    Note that NVIDIA DCH Graphics Drivers, as opposed to the NVIDIA Standard Graphics Drivers, do not natively come with the NVIDIA Control Panel, so it's important to install an NVIDIA Standard Graphics Driver, not the DCH Driver, from the NVIDIA Download Center.
     
    Pressing the Windows+P keys is the hotkey combination for opening the monitor options in Windows.

     Also you don't need the Nvidia Control Panel to set which display is which.  Assuming Win10....... Start > Settings >  System > Display.  Even on 7 you could do it in Windows though I've forgotten the steps for it now on that.
