    Hi everybody!
    My notebook is dv4-3002tx: HP Pavilion dv4-3002tx Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
    Switchable Graphics:
    - Intel HD 3000
    - Radeon 6750M
    I can't update one by one because:
    - Do not install this if your notebook contains an ATI/AMD graphics card or NVIDIA graphics card! This driver package is compatible only with notebooks that have an Intel 6-series or 7-series motherboard chipset with integrated graphics technology.
    - And: Do not install this if you have a standalone Intel Graphics Media Accelerator or ATI/AMD graphics card!
    Install the Intel HD Graphics driver first before you install the NVIDIA graphics driver! This is to ensure that the Optimus switchable graphics feature works properly.
    Or: Do not install these if you have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator / Intel HD Graphics or an AMD graphics card that is not applicable!
    So how can I update my both of Graphic Card?
    P.s: Sorry about my English :(

    cannot find your specific model here, but heres the way to go to ensure switchable gfx capability:

    1. update intel gfx driver
    2. install the most recent amd gpu driver provided by HP
    3. install the most recent (currently 12.4, very soon 12.6) official amd driver without uninstalling the one installed from HP earlier
