Windows 10: Intel/Amd switchable graphics problem

hey, i need some help. I bought a HP 15-bs021nm a moth ago, and it has intel hd 520 and Radeon 520 graphics.
I want to play games with it, but the problem is it uses intel hd instad of the radeon graphics.
How do i set radeon to be the default graphics adapter?

My AMD Switchable Graphics settings are missing after upgrading to windows 10

Me, you and thousands of users with Intel and Amd switchable graphics configuration are abandoned since several years ago...

It's a disgrace.

Take my laptop for example:

HP dv7-6140eo

Intel and amd 6770M switchable graphics.

Latest driver is from 2011.

Uncountable number of threads on forums about the switchable graphics problem but nobody seems to care.

Oh dear...

Here is one:

AMD/Intel: Switchable graphics

 

no DirectX 12 on my windows 10

I have AMD Radeon HD 7600M and Intel HD Graphics 3000 switchable graphics !

 

Hello, hentcc456. Welcome to Windows TenForums.

Does it show up in Device Manager? WinKey/X > Device Manager.

If not, then you need to find and install the driver for it.

 

i have it installed

 

Configure Switchable Graphics. Right click desktop should give access to the AMD/Radeon control panel >
HP Notebook PCs - Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs | HP® Customer Support
Check by running the application, and looking at the Task Manager > Performance Tab > GPU 0, and GPU 1 > clicking on one of those gives you more details as to what is being used on what GPU.

 

i cannot do that, because the options on HP's site do not match

 

Every bios menu is different. For HP products it may similar to this:
Repetitively click the F10 during reboot > open the bios > advanced tab > device configurations > disable hybrid graphics

Turning off hybrid graphics may reduce the number of usable displays as well as battery life. As long as these are not potential problems then you can turn off the intel graphics and have always on AMD or NVIDIA

This is a method not using the BIOS: HP Notebook PCs - Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs | HP® Customer Support

The other option may be to right click disable the Intel graphics driver.

 

It does not matter whether it matches or not, the illustration maybe out of date. It's the overall principle to get to some sort of Graphics options.

So what do you have ? You must have some sort of AMD/Graphics Control Panel somewhere.

You can also look thru any HP installed applications. That may give access to some UEFI functions.

"The other option may be to right click disable the Intel graphics driver. "
Definitely not, there is a common video output on these Laptops, it is not a Desktop with a separate Graphics Card and video outputs.
There is usually nothing in the UEFI/BIOS on such Laptops. By all means have a look.

 

Use AMD Radeon Settings. You may want to update your graphics driver (get one from AMD, not HP.) if you are missing such feature.
