Dual Graphics Card

I have an Acer Predator laptop that has two graphics cards (Intel HD Graphics 530 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX980M).  Do I need to force it to use one of those for Adobe Premiere or After Effects, or will it automatically choose the best one?  If I do need to force it to use one of them, what would be the best way to do that?

    With CC 2017, you will need to manually force this selection - and you must disable one or the other. Otherwise, if you leave both enabled, you will be locked into the MPE software-only mode with no GPU acceleration whatsoever.

    Am I correct that I should be forcing it to use the Nvidia?  Is the proper process to do this on Windows 10 to right click on the program ----->Run with Graphics Processor ----->High-performance NVIDIA processor, or is there something else that needs to be done to disable the other?

    There is something else that needs to be done. Preferably, is there a way in your laptop's BIOS/EFI to disable the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530?
