I have a problem with my notebook.
I have just upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, and I got my graphics cards messed up. I have two of them, an integrated Intel one and an external AMD one. I want to switch to AMD (because it's more powerful), but I don't know how. I used to be able to switch between them in AMD Catalyst Control Center (Google tells the same), but now the button to switch between graphics cards is gone. AMD CCC acts like the AMD graphics card is missing, but device dispatcher shows that both cards are functional and have drivers up to date.
I tried manually installing drivers for the AMD card, but it didn't help. I tried a lot of things, and the only solution it seems I have is to manually switch to the AMD card with some console magic, or fix something with the AMD card with good old console magic. (dxdiag says that the Intel graphics card is being used)
Most of my notebook specs are here, in my AMD forums post (AMD forums are not really helpful). Any help?

Didn't help. I tried uninstalling my current AMD soft and installing this, but installer doesn't install anything and show me a somewhat empty error log. Then I tried installing this ontop of this: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalystWIN8-1PreviewDriver.aspx It installed succesfully, updated the drivers, but still no result. CCC is not detecting my graphics card.
