    Hey Guys I have two questions. I did a clean install of windows on my SSD. Before I did, when I clicked the battery program by lenovo. It showed CPU and GPU. However right know it does not show GPU anymore. How would I get the GPU back on?

    On the dedicated graphics, how would I manually switch?

    You probably need to install your graphics drivers. You will need to install the Intel driver and also the AMD or nVidia one. Check your owners lounge thread for the latest driver or check Lenovo's site for downloads for these.
