Disable GL753V Onboard graphics, M.2 SSD upgrade, and HD Caddy for DVD-ROM bay ?

[Lurkin]

Hey guys been racking my brain on how to disable on board graphics I have gone in to divice manager and tried to disable intel graphics and after I did that nvidia control panel will not open tells me there is no display attached. Did an uninstall of all drivers for both intel and nvidia. Rebooted and then intel was back and nvidia was not so I went ahead and disabled and uninstalled the intel graphics again And installed nvidia drivers again. Still nothing kinda pissing me off any input is greatly appreciated. Also the lap top is a GL753V-DS71 thank you for any help ahead of time*

Sweet thank you guys. i have never had any luck with the clone software anytime i have done an SSD in the past so i will take what you did just a fresh install form a USB drive and off to the races. Thank you again for the response. Also an update on the DVD-ROM drive if any one has any interest in it it is this item form Amazon. CLICK HERE already ordered and messed around with it and with some very very small modification it fits like a glove and by small i am talking about a utility knife and a little bit of shaving. just used it for more storage for a deployment i have coming up stuck a 4tb drive in there and works like a charm.

I bought the Samsung Evo pro 250GB stick and installed it a few days ago. Opening up the bottom is a bit of a hassle, as you have to pry it open, rather than a simple back casing.

Anyway, no problem installing. I then just used Easus ToDo backup, it has an option to do a system clone. Took about 20 minutes to transfer over. From there I loaded the bios and changed boot priority. Boom, the m2 is now my boot drive, windows boots in just over 10 seconds!!

I changed out the hard drive that came with the computer with my Seagate 2TB 7200 rpm data drive from my old computer as well. I did have a bluray drive from my old laptop as well, but the profile on the GL753 is too low, so wasn't able to install the drive.

New poster, and apologies for hijacking the thread, but have the same question, re m.2 card. I've been reading about varying reports about using an NVMe drive as the boot drive. Anyone had any success with installing an NVMe drive and it functioning as a boot drive. NVMe would be preferred over Sata due to the speed gain.

Yes NVMe can be boot drive gl753v

don't the onboard graphics serve as a gateway (or sort of) to display whatever you see on screen, while the 1050TI serves as the actual graphics computing unit?

the above should be by design.
