    You have to install stock first then upgrade, with the other drivers. Don't uninstall, just overwrite.

    Why?

    Since GCN core released, there are ZERO drivers that support AMD/Intel switchable graphics!!!
    - Yes even the stock drivers don't provide support, the base for those are fubar. Dell/Clevo just managed to fudge it to get it to install, thanks to them, no thanks to AMD.
