No. XP does not support dual graphics card switching, you can only change it in the BIOS if you want to change it. The outside switches are ineffective.

Both Vista and Win7 can be switched between dual graphics cards. Because XP doesn't support swichable graphic drivers, even if you change to a switchable reboot on the BIOS side, it will revert to a single graphics card.

If you want to operate with dual graphics cards, I personally recommend installing win7,The performance of win7 is still OK,It is recommended to install。

You can switch your graphics card by following these steps:

1.In an empty space on the desktop, right-click and select [NVIDIA Control Panel], as shown in the following figure.

2.In the NVIDIA control panel that opens, in the 3D settings on the left, click [Manage 3D Settings], and then in the [Global Settings] on the right, change the option under the preferred graphics processor to [High-performance NVIDIA processor], and when you're done, remember to click [Save] at the bottom.

The Y460's integrated display and independent display switch buttons are on the right hand side of the front of the notebook keyboard. You need to install the relevant drivers.,And you have to install the win7 system.。

1 Right-click in the blank space of the desktop - configure the swappable graphics card, select High Performance as a discrete graphics card in the dialog box, and select Power Saving as an integrated graphics card.

2 There is an interactive button at the bottom right of the computer, dial it to the right side for high performance, and the other side for power saving. No need to restart your computer.

--NVIDIA Control Panel --- manage 3D settings where you can manually set up each program yourself.

Take nvidia graphics cards, for example.

1. Right-click on the blank space of the desktop and select Open NVIDIA Control Panel;

2. Click "Manage 3D Settings" and switch to the "Program Settings" tab;

3. Click the "Add" button in the first selection of custom programs, and select the application you want to use with a discrete graphics card in the drop-down box;

4. Select "High-performance NVIDIA processor" in the graphics processor in the second article, and then click Apply at the bottom right.

There are two ways to switch discrete graphics cards with Y460:

Method 1: Right-click the desktop mouse to see "Configure Interchangeable Graphics Card".

Click on it to select and switch freely.

Method 2: 1、Y460 itself comes with a shortcut key for switching graphics card functions,The position of the shortcut key is at the leading edge of the lower right corner of the machine,You can switch it directly。

2. When switching to a discrete graphics card, there is a white indicator light next to the shortcut key.

The small Y of the N card does not have a switch button, and the intelligent switching, only the small Y of the A card has a switch button. Playing the game will encounter the problem of unsmooth graphics, which you can solve by changing the settings of nvidia, refer to it.

For laptops, after installing the XP system, you can only use the integrated graphics card, not the independent graphics card, so you can't install the independent graphics card driver, and if you want to use the independent graphics card, you must use the operating system of win7 or above.

Here is the steps to install the driver under the win7 system, which can be installed through the device manager:

Find the "Computer" icon on the desktop, right-click to select Properties, click "Device Manager" on the properties, and then click "Display Adapter" to see the graphics card model.

Double-click the graphics card that needs to be installed to display the graphics card properties panel, and then switch to the driver interface, and you can install it.

Yours is the latest out of Lenovo.,The configuration should be i3 380 4G memory 500G hard disk,I helped a friend get two last few days,I also encountered a problem,I can't use the driver wizard and drive life,I later called customer service and asked,This is a dual graphics card,If you install XP, you can't install a separate graphics card,The dual graphics card that I used to associate with can be turned off in the BIOS,Now this machine BIOS has not closed that item., If you want to really use XP, you may have to find someone to brush the BIOS. It is recommended that you still use win7, there are a lot of practical software in it, and it is good, I don't know if this answer can help you, I wish you an early solution to the problem!

Just go to the official website and get the driver of the upper and lower XP ......

Hope it helps.

Y470 is a dual-graphics computer, the system automatically switches the graphics card, and when the system handles large traffic tasks, it will automatically switch to a discrete graphics card; When the task volume is not large, the system automatically switches to the integrated graphics card, but you can also choose to use the discrete graphics card all the time, and the operation steps are as follows:

1. Right-click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel on the pop-up menu.

2.Then pop up the NVIDIA settings menu, select Manage 3D settings, and you will see the option to use the integrated graphics or independent graphics card globally, after selecting the discrete graphics card, the system will use the selected graphics card when performing tasks.
