T520 Primary Display adapter

#1 Post by OlivierC » Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:52 am

Hello,

This is a simple question:

I got a T520 (great great great laptop!!) with an Intel HD 3000 and a nVidia NVS 4200m onboard.
I would like to use the 4200m as primary display adapter.

Is there a way to switch that?

Cheers

In the BIOS setup, under Display, select the discreet graphics pull down, but remember to disable OS detection, which will switch back to the default "as needed" configuration under Win7. It will be clear when you see it on the BIOS screen.
