![]() In Windows Update, you usually see a date next to each entry. Although the companies that manufacture the graphics hardware usually release updates every month, with bug fixes and optimizations for new games, it takes time for these changes to get through the Microsoft certification process (if the company even bothers). In most circumstances, Windows Update won’t find a new driver. Use Windows Device Manager to manually upgrade graphics drivers will, without nvidia drivers from their site or from dell, my computer behave itself (i.e.11800430393 Logo Ameba Icon Security Icon Security White Icon Privacy Icon Performance Icon Privacy Icon Security Icon Performance Icons/45/01 Security/Other-Threats Icons / 32 / Bloatware removal Icons / 32 / Registry Cleaner Icons / 32 / CleanUp Icons / Feature / 32 / Mac Icons / 32 / Browser cleanup Icons/32/01 Security/Malware Icons/32/01 Security/Viruses Icons/32/01 Security/Other-Threats Icons/32/01 Security/phishing Icons/32/01 Security/Scams Icons/32/01 Security/hacking Icons/32/01 Security/Security-tips Icons/32/01 Privacy/Privacy-tips Icons/32/01 Performance/Software Icons/32/01 Privacy/Identity-Protection Icons/32/01 Privacy/Digital-life Icons/32/01 Performance/Performance-tips Icons/32/01 Security/Passwords Icons/32/01 Security/Ransomware Icons/32/01 Security/Business Icons/32/02 Privacy/Browser Icons/32/02 Privacy/IP adress Icons/32/02 Privacy/VPN Icons/32/02 Privacy/Proxy Icons/32/02 Privacy/Streaming Icons/32/03 Performance/Celaning Icons/32/03 Performance/Drivers Icons/32/03 Performance/Gaming Icons/32/03 Performance/Hardware Icons/32/03 Performance/Speed Icons / 32 / Bloatware removal Icons / 32 / Registry Cleaner Win Icons / 32 / CleanUp Icons / Feature / 32 / Mac Icons / 32 / Browser cleanup Icons/60/02 Privacy/02_Privacy Icons/60/01 Security/01_Security Icons/60/03 Performance/03_Performance Icons/45/01 Security/phishing Icons/45/01 Security/Scams Icons/45/01 Security/hacking Icons/45/01 Security/Security-tips Icons/45/01 Privacy/Privacy-tips Icons/45/01 Performance/Software Icons/45/01 Privacy/Identity-Protection Icons/45/01 Privacy/Digital-life Icons/45/01 Performance/Performance-tips Icons/80/01 Security/phishing Icons/80/01 Security/Scams Icons/80/01 Security/hacking Icons/80/01 Security/Security-tips Icons/80/01 Privacy/Privacy-tips Icons/80/01 Performance/Software Icons/80/01 Privacy/Identity-Protection Icons/80/01 Privacy/Digital-life Icons/80/01 Performance/Performance-tips Icons/80/01 Security/IoT Icons/80/01 Security/Malware Icons/80/01 Security/Passwords Icons/80/01 Security/Ransomware Icons/80/01 Security/Viruses Icons/80/01 Security/Other-Threats Icons/80/03 Security/Business Icons/80/02 Privacy/Browser Icons/80/02 Privacy/IP adress Icons/80/02 Privacy/VPN Icons/80/02 Privacy/Proxy Icons/80/02 Privacy/Streaming Icons/80/03 Performance/Celaning Icons/80/03 Performance/Drivers Icons/80/03 Performance/Gaming Icons/80/03 Performance/Hardware Icons/80/03 Performance/Speed Icons/80/03 Performance/03_Performance Icons/80/02 Privacy/02_Privacy But my understanding is intel HD400 is quite powerful for regular windows operations and even watching videos, and that nvidia discrete gpus are really just meant for games or other high performance graphics applications. I know that if I install all the drivers properly, they will auto-switch to nvidia when necessary. ![]() is it ok to do what I have done? Just install windows 8.1 and not install any specific video drivers from Dell or Nvidia? I know there is something installed by default from the windows installation in the device manager. Since I don't play games, I was thinking it is not necessary to download the 300 mb drivers and install them for nvidia. But maybe windows did? But anyhow I don't have the branded nvidia tray icons. I didn't install any specific drivers for the nvidia gpu. Right now I have windows 8.1 and it seems to be running on the HD4000. I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 but this is a general question about laptops that have Intel HD4000.
