[size=100]Good day,
I hope that the day finds you well!

I recently had to perform an "[I]up-gradable downgrade[/I]" to a laptop-based system, due to "[url=https://reverb.com/ca/item/83458318-custom-4u-chassis][color=#800080][I]weighty concerns[/I][/color][/URL]" of my previous system.

My laptop of preference is always Lenovo, thus I acquired a 2018 Lenovo P51.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-7th Gen, 2.9Ghz
RAM: 16GB ofDR4
Video: Integrated Intel HD630
Discreet: nVidia Quadro M2200
SSD: 512MB M.2 PCIe
Note: This unit has the capability of 2x, M.2 PCIe and 1x, 2.5 SSD.

Anyhow, I have a very particular "routine that I go through when setting up a new system. Thus, when problems arise, it can be a rather frustrating experience...which I am sure most can sympathize with.
* This particular situation had to do with the "[I]discreet[/I]" video affecting the Fabfilter plugins.
* In such situations, ensure that "[I]Hybrrid Graphics[/I]" is enabled in the BIOS. This option permits the selection between the two available video options - that is, integrated or discreet.

Anyhow, not to bore anyone with the specific details, I find it imperative to have a specific installation procedure employed, so that when situations do arise [...as they most certainly will...], you are in a much more lucrative position to "[I]back-trace[/I]" where the specific error, or errors, have/has occurred.

I hope this information will be of some practicable use?

Thank you for your time...appreciated!
