^*1Note: Intel Integrated Graphics mode is supported only on 13^th Gen Intel Processor laptops, previous generations' models don't have this option.

 

On laptop models that support MSHybrid and Integrated Graphics mode, please refer to the following on how to install the graphics drivers correctly.

*Note: If the system is in Integrated Graphics mode, the NVIDIA graphics card will not be detected by the system, and installing its driver in this mode will fail. Hence, please switch to MSHybrid Graphics mode before starting the installation process.
