I want to change my graphics from Intel HD to AMD Radeon R7 M270 on my laptop. It has both graphics integrated on the laptop.

Whenever I play games, Such as Rainbow 6 Siege beta or Battlefield 4, Intel graphics is used... But i want to use the AMD Graphics.

I have 8 GB of RAM,4 processors (2 hard and 2 soft)
 
Solution
Try downloading and running HWMonitor, it will show actual utilisation. I suspect it doesn't switch over until the gpu load goes up, i.e your actually playing the game and not at the game menu

Iam sure, when i start the game and head over to display/visual it tells which graphics iam using. Yes i do use power supply when i game.

Iam sure that it doesnt change,the GPU loads up directly when I start playing/even start the laptop,Both are ready to be used.

I think I have same issue. I want to confirm my laptop is using AMD graphics. When running HWMonitor and running a game, I could not see AMD anywhere on HWMonitor. but I noticed that Intel HD was running at 0%, so I'm still not sure what I am using.

im on the same boat too, i have a toshiba i5 core laptop with AMD RADEON R7 M260 and INTEL HD 5200 card with Windows 10 and my graphics card is always set to intel HD 5200. I need the better graphics card when using my 3D sketch up modelling software. Any permanent solutions guys?
