Graphic Drivers Not Installed Without New Drivers Version

Recently I've tried to change the rendering device for a game from the Core processor to the GPU NVidia Graphic Card. 

When trying to do so I realized that my computer doesn't recognise the processor as a unit capable of processing graphics, which is really weird considering that some games do use it as a graphics rendering tool. 

Also, when I use the Intel Driver & Support Assistant Tool, not only does it say that there are not any updates on the drivers, therefore being those updated to the last update; but it does recognise the processor as operative and full functional.

I've tried to change the main graphic processor through the Nvidia Control Panel, but I can't since it doesn't recognise the CPU as capable of rendering graphics. I've also tried to change it from the Windows Graphic Configuration Tool but with no results. 

Does someone know what the hell is going on? And more specifically, how do I change the main graphic rendering tool to the GPU? Thank you in advanced and sorry for my English.

Also the files attached are in Spanish, so my apologies in advanced. 


CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Check your bios settings to see if BOTH nvidia and intel graphics can be used.

Thank you a lot for replying, the thing is: how do I do that? Sorry but I don't know much about computers.

I know what the BIOS is and how to access it, but I don't know how to check if both are avaliable. Thank you again.

Contact your system/motherboard manufacturer for assistance with THEIR bios.
