    I tried to install ATI drivers from the manufacturer but it said I had incompatible hardware and to check my manufacturer for drivers instead. I wanted to try play some recent games but I get a lot of microstutter (not FPS drops), so I wanted to update my drivers.

    this was my process:
    • Downloaded correct drivers
    • Went into the BIOS and set graphics to discrete
    • Used Driversweeper in safe mode and swept the drivers
    • Booted into windows and tried to install the drivers but it didn't work
    • also didn't work if BIOS was set to switchable

    Any help here?

    There is a software program that helps you bypass that but I can't seem to find the website. I'll keep looking and post when I find it.

    EDIT: AH HA!! Here it is - Mobility Modder
