Windows 10: How to permanently delete a hardware device even if it's always connected from Windows

Hello everyone. This is my first post. I've got a HP Pavilion DV6-6b13ss, which is about 11 years old. It runs Windows 8.1 64-bit. My problem is I can't use Windows on it because it has switched graphics, Intel HD 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 7690M XT, and the Radeon seems to have the typical problem of the chips from that time... So every time I tried to install the Catalyst driver, it just would get black screen during the installation. I figured out that disabling it on device manager would let me use the computer, as the Intel HD is perfectly working, but once rebooted, it only lasts a few secon
