    My first time using a switchable graphics laptop. Do I have to use the Lenovo website drivers designed for this laptop? Or can I go directly to the Intel and AMD websites, download the latest drivers for each separately, then install them separately?

    GPU Intel 520 / AMD R7 M460

    You should be able to get drivers from Intel & AMD directly. At least it works that way with Nvidia graphics.

    That's the reply I got directly from Lenovo forum. I might try it, not sure yet...
