How can I change the graphics of the HP Pavilion dv6 6174la?

Hello community, I need help with my HP notebook, it turns out that it has two cards (6520g and 6600m and 6700m) and I want to change the integrated card to the dedicated one but there is no way to do it, update the driver, deactivate it in device manager and nothing at all, I don't know if it's because of windows (because I upgraded from window 7 to 10) but I wanted to know if someone can help me :(, I want to be able to install steam games but it no longer supports win10 xd, thank you very much in advance

Hi:

The AMD switchable graphics adapters have no driver support for W10, therefore unfortunately there is nothing you can do to make them work.

If you have a way to reinstall W7, I suggest you do that, so the graphics works.

The graphics adapters are integral parts of the motherboard and cannot be removed or upgraded.

i installed win7 and the drivers, how can i activate the graphic 6600m and 6700m?

This is the W7 driver you need for the dual AMD switchable graphics adapters:

okay, i installed the driver, whats the next?

That's it.

The notebook will automatically switch to the Radeon HD 6700M if the onboard AMD 6520g can't handle the load.

There should also be some settings in the Radeon software you can configure as well.

You couldn't have told me that before doing all this, this was a waste of time, thank anyway

You're very welcome. 

I don't understand what you mean, because the switchable graphics weren't working at all on W10.
