I can't find an update button anywhere in AMD's Catalyst Control Center. I have a Radeon HD 7640G, with an A8-4500M APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics. I went to AMD's site, went to Drivers + Downloads and selected auto install and detect. It tells me the best driver for this device is amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win7-64bit.exe, and it downloads it to my temp folder(instead of downloads folder for some reason). But I find it in the folder and try to run it but I get a pop up telling me this version is incompatible with my computer. I found the same one but "with-dotnet" on AMD's site and downloaded it, but when I try to run it I get a different error saying "Installer integrety check has failed..."

I just wanna update my drivers since I haven't done this in a year or so(I haven't used this laptop in a while so I'm currently updating everything, anti-virus, windows, etc), and I'm not sure if they automatically update or not. My CCC says Catalyst version 08.4, which is way behind 14.12 (if those number are referring to the same thing). If anyone can help me figure out to how update directly from my CCC or tell me how to find these drivers online that'd be great. Thanks in advance!

Given it's a laptop, you should only use drivers from the laptop manufacturer as they often tweak official AMD driver packages to limit power, memory usage, etc... It's quite possible that drivers from AMD will not work and you're stuck with the outdated drivers from your laptop manufacturer.

I was have sort of the same problem a little while ago, I didnt know how to update my CCC as well but heres how I did it on my desktop with the R7 200 Series card. First go to their website and select "Drivers + Support" and then you version of windows 32 or 64 bit, then select the auto install and detect like you said you did.If you still have the downloaded driver than I suppose you can skip these steps. What you want to o is go to your control panel and select uninstall a program and uninstall the AMD Catalyst Control Center, when asked select express uninstall, not complete or full uninstall. Lastly install you downloaded version of the software. This is exactly what I did for my card.

The problem with that is that I can't find my set up from the drop down menus. I've looked in APU, Embedded, and a few others but I can't find the right combination to lead me to HD 7640G. Idk if it's HD series or G series or 7xxx series and the drop downs never get specific enough for me to know for sure

Where would I find this? I'm using an HP Pavilion dv6. Is there anywhere I can do this from the computer itself (like some options->check for updates) or do I need to google this
