Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS is not listed(seen)

[cooperator]

Hi everyone!

I've read that:

NOTE: If you do not see Switchable Graphics Mode in the BIOS or it cannot be selected, see the following section Updating the BIOS to enable Fixed Mode .

However,  I didn't see that switachable craphics mode is seen in my BIOS:

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex

Product Number : LM610EA#A2N

Version of BIOS is: F.05.

Vendor of BIOS is: Insyde

Also, I would say that my BOIS is not a UEFI BIOS because I cannot navigate the menus with a mouse but only just with the keyboard.

However, I really was told that I shouldn't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem with it.

Thus, I am afraid that if I had updated it, I would be encountring some problems not loading my machine well. However, I really want to know how to switch to external or internal adapter, thus I read here:

Thanks a lot,

I really have read that procedure, but, I really was told that I shouldn't update the BIOS unless I am having a problem with it. Thus, While updating BIOS  if I had made a mistake which might avoid my machine to load well, what should I do?

How can I be in more safe while updating BIOS? Is there any way?

I can switche between two graphics 'Intel graphics and ATI Radeon Graphics', although the ' that switachable craphics mode is not seen in my BIOS at all.

Then, I think I don't need to update BIOS to add this option:

Could any expertes at this splendid forum take some of his precious time out to really reply to me?

I really have all of these drivers below installed on my system, thus I need  newer ones.

HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) (SP54024) F.1A REV: A or later

HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) (sp55068) F.1B

and

AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (SP53025) 8.830.6.2000 or later

AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (sp55092) 8.882.2.3000

Besieds, I really have updated my BIOS from version: F.05 into F.1B, but the switachable Graphics mode in this screen shot below wasn't found at all. Also, there is no Intel Smart Tecnology in BIOS as it here in this screen shot. I don't know why.

My GUPs are AMD Radeon and Intel graphics.
