Help with setting up an MSI laptop for PCVR

Hi everyone!

I desperately need help, as I'm only making things worse on my own (I'm incredibly bad at messing around with settings).

This is my laptop:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900HX 2.20 GHz Processor
32.0 GB RAM installed (31.7 GB usable)
954 GB NVMe SSD Micron_2500_MTFDKBA1T0QGN Storage
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8 GB), Intel(R) UHD Graphics (128 MB)

I want to play PCVR on my Quest 3 using a cable, so I bought a good one from AMVR with integrated fast charging.

With the graphics settings at their defaults, even after setting the MSI Center to maximum performance, when playing Metro Awakening I have to put everything on the lowest settings to avoid stuttering and flickering, and even then... meh.

Today, I took the time to research and tried to follow some recent videos to configure my PC specifically for VR.

The result was so disastrous I almost cried.

I managed to restore both the Nvidia control panel and Oculus debug tool settings to their original state, but it kills me to know that things can be done correctly; my brain just can't handle it.

Can anyone who understands this help me? My sanity will be eternally grateful.
