Hi,

I really need a way to disable the discrete graphics card and let the laptop run in integrated mode only as the combined mode is not supported by any other windows than win7 and my nvidia graphics card needs way too much power for mobile work.
This submenu item is in the documentation for the bios, but not present on my system.

Thank you!

just a quick bump.

I think that the option I need is in the hidden menus.

If need arises I can dump my bios and upload it.

I have attached the 1.27 BIOS.

If anyone can check if it is possible to add access to the hidden menu.

Thanks!
