It's a confusing question. You don't need to shut down the PC or plug it into an external port. Simply connect your video card to the onboard slot and power it on; it should switch to the iGPU automatically.

It should automatically adjust the switch. Otherwise, the BIOS must have an option to designate the iGPU as the main display. It’s usually safest to modify that setting and then detach the GPU.

Everything needed should be covered. You might also want to install the DGPU drivers and make sure you have the newest Intel drivers for extra security.

The BIOS configuration is designed to automatically identify the graphics card, either integrated or dedicated. It would require manual adjustment to turn off built-in graphics, and after removal of the dedicated GPU, a CMOS reset would be necessary.

Remember to take a breath too, that's the full picture. Unless your processor lacks built-in graphics.
