i think u can disable it in the bios. otherwise just uninstall the drivers and it wont work anymore

I recommend just disable it by drivers, don't bother with the bio's.

once you plug in the new one the old on stops working

Right click my computer -> properties -> hardware tab -> device manager -> look under display adapters and disable your old one.

But thats the easy way out! You gotta do it the technical way so you'll never see it again hehe
