My computer won't detect my AMD Graphics Card. Instead It uses Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

My PC model is Dell Inspiron One 2330. When I looked up this model on the Dell website it said I have an AMD Graphics card in my PC. However, Dxdiag says I'm using Intel(R) HD Graphics Family. When I ran AMD Autodetect it said I DO have an AMD graphics card: "AMD Radeon HD 7600A Series". How can I use the AMD graphics card?(Which is much better...)

It is an all in one. But I'm not much of a computer expert... can you explain me the difference between gpu and cpu?
I want to use that graphics card for playing video games. Intel(R) HD Graphics just isn't strong enough.

if you right click on your desktop does it show "amd radon settings" or "configure switchable graphics" you might just need to config your amd display to use the the amd under the AMD CONTROL PANEL by setting it for max performance and not the max energy efficiency which will default to your intel card.

updated to add "configure switchable graphics"

I tried this. when I right click it shows "configure switchable graphics". I clicked it and it appears that the global setting is already set on 'Maximize Performance' but when I play the game, It seems too slow to be true... I saw videos on youtube of people testing this graphics card and they ran much heavier games so smoothly with the same graphics card as mine. Is it possible that I still play those games with the intel graphics card?
