So once upon a time around 2015 lol, I grabbed this HP Notebook at a tech fair lol..for a while the CCC actually let me swap between my integrated & dedicated cards so i know it works lol..
but now...I tried everything short of burning the laptop but the feature just wont return lol never buying HP or anything switchable ever again.
To add insult to injury, HP BIOS (Mine being their baby proof Insyde F.48.A) boasts features such as F10 key bashing to enter, then exit as u came since the only thing daddy BOIS let u do is change ur boot order gg
