I want to try Skyrim Special Edition but trouble to configure the graphics card.
I have a laptop with an integrated Intel GPU and a dedicated NVidia GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile card.
Wine applications use the integrated GPU and I cannot find where to set them to use the dedicated GPU.
Here are my system details:

I found other threads mentioning similar issues but there was no real explanation of the issue or how to solve it. They often referred to something called "device id". I checked this device ID database. My card is listed with the id 0x1c62 ("0x1c62 GP106 [GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile]").
The Useful registry keys page mentions the following key for the device id: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D/VideoPciDeviceID. I opened `regedit` but there was no `Direct3D` directory in the `Wine` entry.
I am also afraid that if I don't set the ID properly (but force it) I may get more issues afterwards. I also some people proposing to disable Intel's GPU in the BIOS but I'd prefer to avoid it (I think it's safer to have it enable in case I have an issue with my NVidia driver).
I am not very familiar with GPUs or Wine but can provide your more info if needed. Thanks in advance for any help.
