Hello Sirs (and ma'ams)!
I'm really new to all of this and don't know what to do. Basically, I need to disable switchable graphics from my bios, so that my laptop only uses the discreet GPU (I play minecraft and other openGL games and switchable graphics won't let me use the discreet GPU). Currently, my BIOS does not give me the option of disabling switchable graphics/selecting a graphics card. I think in order to have this option, something called "unlocking" the bios must be done? I am not sure, so I hope you guys can point me in the right direction of what to request. So.. Here's the info on my bios that I hope can be modded so that I can disable switchable graphics. Thanks again in advance!
