I use Dell Inspiron 15 3521. I use 8.1 and i can find Somenthing 'AMD" in "Program Files". I Don't have a grapic card installed i just changed my os .. so does that "AMD" mean my system supports Amd graphics?

I second what john TJ said...iits a Windows file. That laptop runs off of an Intel 2117U processor, so AMD hardware should not be present in your system, unless you put it there.

If you have an AMD folder in your Program Files folder then you have an AMD APU. Its a CPU that has an integrated graphics processor built into the CPU itself. So, yes all of your graphics are being produced by an AMD APU. You can open System via Search and it will tell you specifically which model of APU you have as well.
