Step 1
Various methods can be used to change the video adapter. First, try disabling the unnecessary card using the laptop motherboard firmware. Turn on the laptop and enter the BIOS menu.
Step 2
Open the Video Options menu. It is important to understand that the name may be completely different. It all depends on the laptop manufacturer and the BIOS version. Find the PCI Video field and set it to Disable. This will disable the discrete video card.

The integrated video adapter should turn on automatically. If not, restart the laptop while retaining the BIOS menu options.
Step 4
In the event that after the reboot the display does not appear on the display, reset the system board settings. You can use the mechanical method for this. Remember that the laptop is in standard mode. This means that you can go to the BIOS menu and select Use Default by pressing the desired key sequence.
Step 5
This option may not be available on relatively old laptops. Use software running on Windows. Download drivers for the processor and video card from the official website of your mobile computer developers.
Step 6
Install the software. Start by installing the drivers for the integrated video card. Restart your mobile computer.
Step 7
Run the installed software. Most video cards run the following applications: ATI Vision Control and Nvidia Control Panel.
Step 8
Find the menu responsible for selecting the video adapter. The AMD program includes an additional utility called Power Express. Select an integrated board. It can sometimes be described as "Low GPU Power Consumption". Click the Apply button.
Step 9
Configure auto-switching adapters. This function allows you to activate the desired graphics controller when you plug in / unplug the power cable.
