Harm? no not at all. im pretty sure almost all laptops now has dual switchable graphics Intel + AMD/Nvidia so you just only updated your Intel graphics no problem with that you can visit AMD's site to download latest AMD Drivers

I would say go ahead and install the Intel drivers. With DX12 coming next week with Windows 10 it will bring with it the ability for the video cards to share the load. This will potentially mean an increase in frame rate or visual fidelity.

With DX12 on Windows 10 there is absolutely a point to installing drivers for all your video cards. Also if you rip your own movies the Intel HD Graphics can process a lot faster then AMD or NVidia.

Well not all devices will support DX12, much less mobile display adapters. That depends on the model and age of the laptop, which we do not know right now, nor do we really know most of the device's specs. Mrunalini Ukey states that the laptop is running Radeon mobile graphics hardware, which is why I suggested he look to AMD for a display driver update. Considering the laptop has a dedicated display adapter from AMD, Intel's integrated graphics likely serve no purpose to the laptop. I won't say that Mrunalini Ukey doesn't need whatever update from Intel, but an update for the AMD card should be the higher priority. Just my thoughts
