So I have this very old game that i want to play but sadly it has big issues with modern dedicated GPU:s (I have GTX 960) so I need to force it to use the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 in order to play it.

However, the option to choose GPU is missing from the Nvidia Control Panel

^ That is what its supposed to look like, but
"2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program:" is not available to me.
EDIT: By "not available" i mean it doesnt exist in my control panel at all

So why is this? I just updated both GPUs with latest drivers and still nothing.
Anyone have an idea of what might be the problem? Does my system somehow not support switching between GPUs?

Specs:
GPU: GTX 960
CPU: i5 4690K OC @ 4.5Ghz
MOBO: Z97 Gaming 3 (or something similar)

Any help appreciated

That option is called Nvidia Optimus. It is a feature on laptops to save power when not gaming or using intensive programs.
Desktops cards do not have this feature.
