Win 8.1 Driver for 7th Gen A10-9600P APU Graphics Card

Is there a Windows 8.1 Driver for the 7th Gen A10-9600p APU Graphics Card? I already look on the AMD website and couldn't find it there, does anyone know where else this driver might be?

Hi:

There isn't one.  AMD only developed W7 and W10 drivers for that APU/graphics.

Thanks for letting me know. Although I couldn't find the 8.1 drivers so I tried the Windows 10 driver, it couldn't detect the card. But I tried the Windows 7 Driver, it detected the graphics card, I tried installing it, and the display and card seem to be running everything fine now. I loaded a game up before the Win7 driver was installed and it wouldn't launch due to the graphics driver being incorrect, Now that I've installed the Windows 7 one, it works completely fine. Will this harm the computer?

You're very welcome.

I don't think it will harm the PC.

For example:  I have a HP 6930 business notebook PC with the AMD Radeon HD 3450 graphics adapter.

I installed W10 on it, and had to use the W7 AMD graphics driver, since there were no W8, 8.1 or W10 drivers for it on the support page.

The notebook runs fine on W10 with the W7 driver. 

It does not run hot, hard drive activity is normal, nor does the fan come on much or spin fast when it does.

Then everything seems to be working fine then. Thanks for helping me and Thank you for your past service as a Coast Guard!
