    you must install the graphic card driver, then it will recognize the gpu name. Standard VGA Card is default windows driver.

    This page lists all the drivers that are available for your notebook. Start with the AMD graphics driver listed there and see how you get on.

    I wouldn't ever install drivers from some third-party website like that (second link). Way too much danger tied up with such websites. It's much safer to download drivers and other low-level software from the official sources only.
