    I just reinstalled Windows and I want to update my graphics drivers to the latest ones (13.1). I'm runnning Dynamic mode.
    So at first I installed the latest HP provided AMD Display drivers from HP's website
    AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver HP Pavilion dv6-6121tx Entertainment Notebook PC | HP® Support

    Now I thought I'm supposed to install any new versions of HP drivers *over* this since this HP one contained drivers essential for dynamic switching. But if I run the 13.1 installer and view the log, it skips over the display driver part and just updates AMD install manager and some other useless components.


    How do I install 13.1 without messing up dynamic switchable graphics?
