My laptop model is Sony Vaio SVE14A16FAH,
I formatted the disk driver and had a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
I installed all drivers available on Sony's Website,

But the switchable graphics is not available any more, and i can't use my AMD Card, although in the device manager under display adapters the graphics cards are supposed to be installed well
(Intel HD Graphics 4000) (AMD RADEON HD 7570M/Hd 7670M Graphics)

Any ideas how to solve this problem ? , i just want to be able to use the AMD Graphics card again.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I think you may just have to go back to the original version of Windows 7 on the laptop (the one loaded with Vaio bloatware). I think that's the only way to keep using switchable graphics... unless your laptop has a hybrid graphics driver for Windows 8/10 available, then go straight to one of those versions of Windows. I'm also suffering for this problem and there seem to be very, very few solutions out there. Sony is such a useless company. I regret buying a Sony laptop.

What I did was, I stuck to the original install of Windows 7 on my laptop but completely eradicated every Vaio program from it. And my laptop defaulted to the Intel graphics card. No AMD for me!
