Product: HP ProBook 6450B
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello!
English is not my first language.

I ask for your help.

I bought eGPU (Adapter for an external video card)

Insert as needed. But all the same, the integrated one starts. I need to change this information in BIOS. My laptop - HP ProBook 6450b

I inserted a mini PCI-e instead of WLAN, and the laptop started, but there is no video card in the “Device Manager”.

Tell me how to change the display to discrete in the BIOS.

Sorry, this won't work. PCIe slot for WLAN (wifi card) does not have enough speed for an eGPU and system won't know it is there.

 

Regards.

On all sites dedicated to internal graphics cards, the HP proBook 6450b is on the list of those with eGPU running.

Yes, and all the equipment is a bang!
