Just wondering why there's a Nvidia GeForce sticker on my laptop? I have the HP Envy 17j. Device Manager says intel 4600 but I'm just wondering why else would the sticker be on my laptop? Not sure if it's something like nvidia optimus or something.
 
I recently faced the same solution but I contacted the customer support of HP using live chat and they solved it for me. The sticker said NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M but when I checked on the laptop, it said Intel(R) HD Graphics 530. What you need to do is (for Window 10) right click to the Start menu (bottom left corner in desktop screen) then choose device manager. There should be something pop up right after. Try to find Display adapters in it, and press the V arrow to check all the available adapters (graphic cards) on your desktops/laptops/notebooks
 


I did this, then right clicked on the NVIDIA GPU, clicked update software, and it downloaded everything needed. After a restart and a test with a game on highest settings I can say this worked and has made me able to enjoy gaming
