Cannot run game app - DX 11 10.0 required error - Windows 10 VDI

I created a VM using the NV6_Promo build in order to take advantage of the GPU. I do a lot of photo editing and media creation as well as wanting to try this out for Cloud Gaming. It is probably more costly than other services, so this is mainly for testing to see how the new Windows 10 Pro build works.

I've seen a lot of people setting up the Server builds to work for gaming, and have used other services that offer Win10 VDIs like Shadow and had now issues. This leads me to think I am missing something, or using the wrong build - although it feels like it should work.

I got it composed and logged in and downloaded the game (Fortnite in this case) and get a Need DX11 option 10.0 error. I've seen this is an older error from back in the Win7 days, so was a bit surprised. I confirmed that the graphics driver was showing DX12 and 10.0 as an option as well all the others, but attempted to update the driver anyway. It installed the NVidia drivers through the extension, but when I attempted to play with those settings I got a message telling me that I'm not using an NVidia GPU for my display. I'd thought maybe this was due to RDP connection, but that doesn't appear to be a problem for most people.

I know I'm missing something, and I am hoping one of you can slap the sense into me and get this going.
