I recently purchased a used HP Envy 17t-j000 (i5-3230, GT 740m, 8GB RAM) off of Facebook marketplace. I installed my own drive (Seagate FireCude 1TB) and installed Windows 10. Everything went fine except that the GT 740m wasn't appearing anywhere and wasn't being recognized when i tried to install drivers, the system would only recognize the Intel HD 4000 graphics. I updated the bios and it didn't help so I installed Windows 8 on the device because that was the operating system it shipped with and I'm still having the same issue.
(Motherboard serial is 720268-501, does this mobo even have a gpu?)
Does anybody have any advice on how to get Windows 8 to recognize my GPU? Or at least have a way I could tell if my GPU is dead or not?
