Welcome to the HP Forums,

We'll be with you until it's all sorted & beyond!

Have you updated the drivers using the HP Support assistant or was it the AMD website?

While you respond to that, here's what you need to know:

Usually, It's a direct rebrand (rename) of the M340 and here's why:

The AMD Radeon R7 M440 is an entry level dedicated graphics card for laptops introduced in mid-2016. The technical details are the same as the previous Radeon R9 M340. 

Therefore it offers 320 shader cores clocked at 1,120 MHz and 2 GB DDR3 graphics memory at 1000 MHz with a 64 Bit interface. The chip is produced in 28 nm and not the new 14 nm process as the Polaris RX 400M series cards.

The gaming performance is comparable to the Radeon R7 M340 (as it has the same specs) or a Nvidia GeForce 920M. Therefore, demanding games of 2015 and 2016 may only be playable in the lowest detail settings and low resolutions.

Which is why the graphics card may show as the M340, however, you still have the M440, if you wish to regain the same name on your screen, you could reinstall the drivers from the device manager and restart the computer, to check.

I hope that answers your query,
