Hi Lashaaf88,

The system model (Inspiron 5150) you are using does not have Optimus Technology to switch video card. 'Optimus Technology' is developed by NVIDIA, where your main graphics card is the integrated one and it works together with NVIDIA dedicated/discrete graphics card to deliver great performance. However, I would request you to kindly recheck the system model and let me know so that I can help you further.
Please reply for further assistance.
Thanks & RegardsRathish C
