Hi,
Try the following.
Download the Intel HD Graphics installer on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp68001-68500/sp68117.exe
When done, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp73501-74000/sp73543.exe
When the Chipset reinstallation has completed, do not restart as prompted, instead open your Downloads folder, right click the Intel Graphics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.
When this has completed, shutdown the notebook.
Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load for a few minutes before checking.

Hi,
No problem
No, it won't affect the procedure I detailed - your machine uses Nvidia optimus which means the primary display device is the Intel chip.
