    There is no "fix", the Windows "experience index" system does not work -AT ALL-. Do not pay any attention to any of those numbers, not a single one of them means anything.

    To answer your question directly regarding the GPU though, that is because it is scoring based on your integrated GPU, not your dedicated GPU. Like i said, it's broken.

    They're just scoring points microsoft made in conjunction with HP to boost sales, it's bulle, don't believe it

    If you really want to benchmark, you should look into 3DMark Vantage/11 + Heaven more, these gives you a more accurate performance score
