OK so I've built a kernel mode driver for both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 and now need to debug the driver using Windbg configured to local debug mode. I can see exe modules that Windbg can attach to but not device drivers. Can this be done ?

    You need to use WinDBG as a remote debug to perform those debugs. Anyway, you need to have two, target and host machines. Perhaps a VM is possible.
