How to disable Intel HD graphics and use nvidia card?

[sbr999]

Hello,

I would like to ask for some assistance.

I want to use the Gtx 630m but instead the laptop keeps using the Intel HD chipset.

What I tried so far:

1. In nVidia control panel I set nVidia graphics card as default in global setting, and for several programs I frequently use as well

2. In BIOS there is no option for Switchable Graphics

Is there any BIOS update for this?

Thanks!

Laptop:

HP Pavilion 15-b102sh Sleekbook

Model: D4N32EA

System version: Windows 8.1

If you are trying to stop using the intel gpu all together you are not going to be able to do that at all.

They system and the software are designed to work with both GPU chipsets and assign accordingly.

I hope this helps.
