I'm hoping that someone here might be able to provide some information. I recently purchased an Acer notebook. It's the Acer V3-572G-54S6. It comes with Windows 8.1. I would really like to install Windows 7 on this notebook, but I have a concern when it comes to the integrated GPU and the dedicated GPU.
The stats on the notebook:
i5 4210U 1.7GHz
8GB DDR3L
1TB HDD
Nvidia GT 840M 2GB
HD 4400 Integrated GPU
Currently, the notebook is setup to autoswitch between the inegrated and dedicated GPU pending usage. I believe that Nvidia Optimus is what provides for the switching.
I'm worried that if I install Windows 7, that it will mess with the notebook's capability of switching the GPU's via Optimus.
Does anyone have any experience with this and/or can someone ease my troubled mind before I take the plunge? Acer and Nvidia support were less than helpful.
