Yes it does have Intel HD Graphics 4600
P.S: Sorry for the late reply been pretty busy nowadays ..
Could i install it but the thing is that i would use it for graphic editing like Photoshop wich recomends the Discrete GPU instead of the integrated one wich is .. 112 MB only :/

then only your intel graphics will work

Awch ,so there's not a walkaround like a driver or something to make the nvidia gpu work? Is not supported by the build or is something in the code that prevents it? No way to modify a file or something to be able to use the whole 2GB gpu ?

no, only your intel graphics will work

unless your nvidia card is routed through your hdmi port then you can use the nvidia web drivers, but you will then have to use a hdmi monitor for that to work

you will have to test in windows, plug in monitor and check over display properties to see the connection

depends on your version of windows:

you will have to look under advanced display etc to find the info
