Hello!This is my first thread on this site so please bare with me.Before I start explaning what my problem is,I just want to adress that i'm very inexperienced with pc's but I'm always looking for ways to improve and expand my knowledge.Now with that out of the way,I will start explaning my situation.I recently purchased a Pny gtx 1050 2gb graphics card,but I decided to return it because I was having problems with it.So I just want to use my amd integrated graphics for now.And I haven't turned on my pc since I have returned the gpu.But I still have the nvidia drivers installed,will the nvidia drivers interfere with the intergrated graphics?I disabled the intergrated graphics drivers too.This is where I'm stumped.Do I uninstall the nvidia drivers and enable the integrated graphics driver again or what?I apologize if any of this confused you,but I'll appricate any answers I can get!

The nvidia drivers are NOT going to interfere with the integrated graphics. Here's what you do:
1. Boot up and immediately go into the bios.
2. Turn on the integrated graphics in the bios.
3. Save the bios settings and exit bios.
4. After you're in windows, you can uninstall the nvidia drivers if you want to. I like the above suggestion to use DDU. It does a better job of removing nvidia drivers, than the standard windows unistaller. Download DDU and run it.
5. The windows integrated graphics drivers are OK to use. If you potentially want a little more control, check on your mobo manufacturers web site and see if they have integrated graphics drivers to download and install. If not - don't worry about it.

Since 1050 is no longer physically in your system, it's drivers are no longer used, so it does not matter if you uninstall them or not. If you plan to have it back (or another 1050), I see no reason to unistall them.
If you disabled integrated graphics drivers in Device Manager, you will have to turn them back on. If you disabled them in BIOS, you will need to reset CMOS (as you would not get display otherwise).
