How do I install Windows without integrated graphics?

If your processor doesn’t have integrated graphics, you have to plug a video card in a pci-e slot, and connect the monitor to that video card. When you first start the computer, it may take a minute or two for the motherboard to start, after this initial slow start, it should work very fast.

Do motherboards have built in graphics cards?

Most motherboards these days come with GPUs integrated into the motherboard or even the CPU itself. For decades now, it’s been common for motherboard manufacturers to include a serviceable (albeit not particularly powerful) GPU built right into the chipset of the motherboard–no extra hardware required.

Can I install a graphics card if I have integrated graphics?

Integrated graphics are either chips soldered onto the motherboard, or are part of the cpu chip. You can’t replace them. If your motherboard has a pci or pci-s expansion slot, you can get a discrete graphics card and abandon use of the integrated graphics. But get a good enough discrete card or you may be disappointed.

Integrated graphics in the CPU is not necessary. But if Intel gets their way with game developers, the “useless IGP” may become a very desirable “IGPGPU” to offload stuff like OpenCL/DirectCompute game physics off the GPU/CPU in exactly the sort of games high-end gamers keep talking about.
