AMD displaydriver -vs- HP OEM display driver

[junes2]

The HP_OEM AMD display driver does not 'offer' any options to fix display issues, while AMD's website offers updated ,chipset drivers, and AMD's optional settings galore ...

Hi:

I use the AMD drivers directly from AMD.  Never had a problem.

I use the auto detect tool...

AMD Drivers and Support for Radeon, Radeon Pro, FirePro, APU, CPU, Ryzen, desktops, laptops

Thanks for the reply. 

Would you prefer the [radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.10.2-minimalsetup-211007_web](37.2 MB)  ,

or the latest-greatest[non-whql-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.10.2-win10-win11-64bit-oct11](455 MB).

... it just seems strange that even using the [HPCloudRecoveryTool ] ,2006 dated drivers get installed. I was thinking that that those --2006 dated -- were being installed by the [MediaCreationTool21H1] tool's defauts...

thanks again

You're very welcome, Sammie.

If you use the AMD auto detect tool, it will install the driver AMD deems best for your notebook.

There should be no need to choose which driver you need to install.

If I were to manually install the driver, I would go with the minimal setup one.

You are going to get the same driver version regardless.

Most of the basic Microsoft drivers are all from 2006.

I don't know why they date them that way.

Some did not even exist in 2006.

... ... ... thanks for the much needed chuckle (on the dating comment) your observation in your answer seemed like a reasonable conclusion to reach ... ,  I will use the minimal setup for now to view the results. I have some concerns with those 'gaming' ?add-ons/options? that get installed auto-magically since this rig is just going to be used for personal use. Some day I may  be able to afford a PRO version, or figure a way to join the Windows Insider Program to get a PRO version installed.  ,.. oh, and to verify that those chipsets get applied...

If issues(or my concerns) do arise, I've also got that 'amdcleanuputility' down loaded...

Anytime, Sammie.

Glad to have been of assistance.
