Disable Intel UHD in BIOS and set Nvidia Quadro as primary display

Question

Hi All

Is it possible to disable Intel UHD controller and/or set Discrete Nvidia Quadro controller as primary on Dell Precision 7730 mobile WS to use Laptop display as Quadro-connected w/o Optimus?

I seeking Workstation and deciding to get 7730 with P4200 or P5200, main problem to find Workstation able to get rid of that problematic Optimus stuff and run Centos7.2/7.4 X11 directly on Quadro. Cannot use bumblebee stuff because of some limitations.

Thanks in advance

Absolutely possible. Once in the UEFI setup menu, open the Video sub-menu, open the Switchable Graphics sub-menu, and disable the Switchable Graphics option. The NVIDIA Quadro GPU will be the only graphics processor available to OSes.
