ASUS K55VJ
Separate (MXM) graphic card GeForce GT 635M.
Major Win 10 update wiped graphic drivers. Messed up reinstalling. Graphic card wasn't even listed in Device manager. The option in File Explorer to right-click and chose "Run with graphics processor" was gone. Restored to a week old image.
Before restoring (and after) I've searched like crazy for the software to download/install that supplies this functionality. I don't want to depend on reinstalling old images.
I found this (description of Optimus)
but nowhere can find where to download it.
Fundamental questions:
The software is probably named Optimus. It interacts with "Nvidia Control Panel"
a) Is the separate graphic software part of Windows? Such that a Windows reinstall would recognize the separate graphic card?
b) I've found lots of references and descriptions of "Optimus" but I cannot find a place to download it. Is "Optimus" built into the Nvidia drivers?
c) Is the ability to "run with graphics processor" a part of, or separate from Optimus?
