    Hi guys! I have Alienware 18R2
    My spec are
    3940XM @4,4GHZ
    32GB HyperX 2133MHZ
    8GB 1070 MSI with modded heatsink

    When i try to usw Lenovo Explorer VR headset, WMR application says that my PC did not fit due to innapropriate drivers - somehow it sees GTX 1070 but sees only intel graphics driver, not NVIDIA one.
    Maybe due to SG mode it does not want to use GTX as input for displays in VR headset...i dont know
    MR foxm , PremA maybe you can help. Maybe there is some applications which can help me...or maybe its NVIDIA optimus issue..i dont want to give up on him..i just cant... This is my screenshot -on russian but i translate it

    not sure what the issue could be, only other thing i can think of is maybe outdated drivers.
