Alienware Aurora 6 Boot Help.
Good morning, over here... so yes I have a problem in the UEFI Boot option where I can't set my primary GPU device nor disable intel's graphics card as it's running me into various troubles when I'm playing a set of games. Please if anyone of you can find a solution to boot into the UEFI Boot and to show me where that category is hiding? it's normally at Advanced Settings but I can't find it for myself.
SPECS:-
Alienware Aurora R6 [Manufacturer/System Model]
Windows 10 Home [OS Name]
x64-based PC [System Type]
Intel Core i7-7700 [Processor]
UEFI Mode [Boot Mode]
Alienware 1.0.1.5, 23/02/2018 [Bios Version/Date]
2.8 [SMBIOS Version]
No Events found!

Strange you list your Specs without the dedicated video card you are talking about.
I leave the on-board Intel video circuit active on my Aurora-R6, and have not noticed any problems. As far as I know, during gaming with my Nvidia GTX-1070 ... the Intel one is never used.

It seems as if Dell has locked several of the BIOS settings such as the one for disabling onboard intergrated graphics such as the one in your Intel CPU. Seems to be the same with no BIOS option to disable onboard sound.
Have you tried to disable the Intel graphics from the Windows device manager? Try disabling from the device manager rebooting then loading your games.
