    Has anyone had any luck getting Windows 10 to work with the M17x R4 with a 970m gfx card? Windows recognises the card and will even use the official drivers from nvidia or modded drivers but when I run any 3d application it runs using the Intel HD 4000 gfx and not the 970m.

    GPU-Z is showing both cards however CUDA is not highlighted on the 970m? Not sure if this indicates any sort of problem...

    Any thoughts on a fix or am I best off going back to Windows 8.1 for the time being?
