HP Pavilion G6 1200TX
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have a HP Pavilion G6 1200tx with,

Intel i3 2300m

4 Gb Ram

465 Gb Hard Disk

Intel hd Graphics

AMD graphics 1 gb Dedicated (Shows Radeon 6470m in windows 7 and 7400m in windows 10)

I have two problems,

Amd Switchable Graphics

Questions,

1.) Does my Laptop supports windows 10. Because Microsoft has ended support for windows 7. 

And I am unable to use applications. When I make a bootable pendrive and install windows 10 I face

Many issues such as long boot time ( i.e 2 minute black screen after windows boot logo) Amd Graphics

Detected as Radeon HD 7400m (6470m originally).

2.) While playing GTA 5 I'm unable to use the amd graphics card (1024 MB dedicated) instead of amd 

Intel hd 3000 ( with 1012 mb gets used in windows 10). I have already set the Switchable graphics to 

High performance and Added GTA 5 and selected High Performance.

Sorry, I can't answer the upgrade question ... but I can tell you the MS ended the win7-to-Win10 free upgrade program some months ago.  If you try the upgrade now, either it will fail up front (which it should) or it will complete it but then deactivate the license, and when you go to reactivate, your only option will be to purchase a retail license -- which is quite expensive.
