Windows 10: AMD software

AMD software was installed today. It seems legitimate but do I really need it? It takes up a lot of space. I've tried to read about it but everything I've read so far contains a lot of information and words I've never heard before.

AMD Software

What is the make & model of your system?



From what you have given and the little research I did, this pertains to your situation:

https://community.amd.com/docs/DOC-1312



Essentially, you have an OLD chipset.



"NOTE: These APU products must be installed only using the display driver version available via Windows Update. If you have upgraded to Windows® 10, please DO NOT install the AMD Catalyst™ Driver.
Instead, enable Windows Update and allow it to detect and install the appropriate driver.



If you have already upgraded to Windows® 10 and installed the AMD Catalyst™ Driver, please follow the steps listed below to resolve this issu

• Uninstall the AMD Catalyst™ Driver using the Program and Features option in the Control Pane
• Reboot the system
• Use Windows Update to install the appropriate graphics driver for the APU."

Hello Rose and other interested parties,

Just generally browsing this afternoon I found in Settings/System/Tablet Mode

AMD E-300 APU with Radeon (TM) Graphics 1.3 GHz., installed 19/9/2017. So it looks like this illusive software has been installed but it is not listed in installed updates nor in the computer programmes list. I am grateful for your advice and help. It now
remains to be seen whether AMD software updates will completely install which is what started this problem

Many Thanks Malcolm

APU E-300 is a combination of central processing unit(CPU) and graphics accelerator unit(GPU) on a single chip. Since there was no problem with your graphics driver and you already have the recent update you may not install AMD software. To further assist
you, we'd like to know if you have tried checking your Device Manager to check your Display adapters.

To check if your driver is installed in your computer, kindly follow these steps:

• Type Device Manager in your search bar Ask me anything at the left hand corner of your screen.
• Expand Display adapters and check the APU E-300 driver if installed.

Let us know if you need further assistance.
