I was trying to use my nvidia 740M on my toshiba laptop instead of the intel4000 already built inside by default, but i cant even open the nvidia contro panel, should i do something from the bios or what? i cant find anything, ive already tried downloading drivers but it seems to dont be enough

Most intel based laptops only use integrated graphics, as it as cheap to produce and gives fair performance to the average non-power user/non-gamer. only way to tell if it has any form of dedicated graphics is if the laptop box and a sticker on the laptop is screaming " I HAVE NVIDIA SH*T IN ME YOU DUMAS" then it only has integrated. nVidia never made a GTX740 anyway it starts at GTX750M, or for older laptops etc. GTX650M etc. there was a part of the late GT series just before the GTX called GT640, but hope this clears up some stuff about your laptop. and also, there is a thing called "models." different models have different hardware. you find the "model number" for your specific toshiba, and I can find out the full specs of that...
