That is not how it works. The nVidia is part of nVidia Optimus and will only be activated sometimes as determined by the hardware and operating system. The Intel is always going to be "primary" and you cannot turn it off and just run on the nVidia. 

 

NOTE: 

Integrated graphics depends on processor. NVIDIA Optimus technology requires an Intel processor, plus an NVIDIA GeForce discrete graphics configuration and is available on Windows 10 Pro OS. With NVIDIA Optimus technology, full enablement of all discrete graphics video and display features might not be supported on all systems.
