HP Elitebook 840 G2 no AMD Graphics card

[IceKing44]

Hello everyone, just got a new laptop, a kinda old Elitebook 840 G2.

It came with an i5-5200U and Intel HD 5500, but from the specifications on the HP website, it's said it also has some AMD graphics card too? Anyways, I have downloaded the AMD video drivers recommended by the website and after I install them, I get an error that there was no AMD hardware detected. Gotta mention the fact that I used the HP Hardware Detection Tool so I could get the right drivers.

What can I do in this case? Am I able to at least upgrade the graphics card?

I really just wanna play some games, not very modern ones, but at least released ones until 2014.

Thanks in advance!

HP 840 G2 is a series of MANY models/products with MANY options/configurations/combinations and  AMD Radeon R7 M260X, with 1 GB dedicated DDR5 video memory is an option.

Did you buy your machine BRAND NEW with this option ?

No, I don't think I did. Bought it online from someone. Anyways, is it possible to upgrade the Graphics card?
