Using nvBLAS in R on Windows?

I am having trouble getting nvBLAS to work in R. I'm using RStudio on a Windows 10 machine, and I have no idea how to link nvBLAS and the original Rblas together for R to start up with both. From the nvBLAS documentation:

To use the NVBLAS Library, the user application must be relinked against NVBLAS in addition to the original CPU Blas (technically only NVBLAS is needed unless some BLAS routines not supported by NVBLAS are used by the application). To be sure that the linker links against the exposed symbols of NVBLAS and not the ones from the CPU Blas, the NVBLAS Library needs to be put before the CPU Blas on the linkage command line.

How exactly do I do this in Windows? Caveat, I am a pretty solid R user, but I am by no means an R expert or a computer scientist. I would ideally like to avoid using an Ubuntu-build for this as well.
