When it’s done, AMD graphics card will disappear from the list.

Step 2 – Install new AMD drivers

After finishing the steps above, restart your computer and Windows will automatically detect the AMD graphics and install the appropriate drivers for you.

However, Windows doesn’t always provide the latest device drivers (see why ). In this case, you should try the other two ways to get the correct and up-to-date AMD drivers:manually or**automatically** .

Option 1 – Manually download and install drivers from AMD

AMD keeps updating its drivers to fix bugs or add features. If you’re familiar with computer hardware, you can go straight to AMD’s support website , find the drivers corresponding with your specific flavor of Windows version (for example, Windows 32 bit) and download the driver manually.

Once you’ve downloaded the correct drivers for your system, double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver.
