Video Card Installation

Hello- I need some help with installing a new video card in my pc, please. The machine is brand new- HP Envy 700-515xt, Windows 7 Professional SP1, with Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics.

The issue I am having is not the actual video card installation, but achieving the correct setting(s) in the BIOS. The BIOS is AMI 80.11 date 4/1/2015, SMBIOS 2.8. It appears that the BIOS mode is set to Legacy, however I can't seem to find an option to disable the integrated graphics and enable the PCIe x 16 (Gen 3.0) Expansion Slot.

I have contacted HP Support, but they won't give me any support because they state that it will void the warranty.

Many thanks in advance for any and all help regarding this matter.

You shouldn't have to adjust the BIOS to recognize the graphics card. Reset the BIOS to Default Settings.

 

OK, thanks fellas. I have just never experienced a BIOS like this before. On my Windows XP machines I had to go into the BIOS and disable the Integrated and enable the PCI.

Of further note, I was reading somewhere that in order to use the Gen 3.0 option on the PCIe x 16 a registry edit would be necessary to go FROM 2.0 to 3.0- Comments, please?
