Hi thedotors1fan,
Well your notebook does meet the specs for the games. Many people try to play higher end games on a notebook that just barely supports the game. In this case I would recommend that you reinstall both of your graphics drivers because you have switchable graphics and therefore two graphic cards.
Intel High-Definition Graphics Driver
NVIDIA High-Definition Graphics Driver
One other thing to check is to make sure that your NVIDIA card is the one running when you are playing your games. This HP support document on NVIDIA switchable graphics has a section Setting your preferred graphics processor for all software programs which will show you how to set that up.
Thank you,
