[SOLVED] Outdated OEM amd drivers

[doubleforce]

I own a Lenovo g505s with amd A8 5550m cpu with Radeon 8550g igpu and 2gb dedicated amd Radeon HD 8570m gpu running windows 10 64bit.The last amd drivers updates given by OEM was on 2014 and they dropped support after that.So I visited amd website to get latest drivers for my laptop and found out that my apu doesn't have latest drivers but my gpu support latest adrenaline softwareGpu driver.The apu supports only old catalyst software or crimson software beta versionApu driver.
Lenovo only provided a single vga driver for both apu and gpu.so my question is will it cause problems if I install two different amd driver versions for apu and gpu?.Any help will be appreciated.Thankyou.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The thing is, if the driver is needed for installation, when you try and install the latter driver version after you've installed the chipset drivers(from Lenovo) then the part of the driver that needs installing will get installed. If the driver isn't needed, no matter what you do, the driver will not install on your platform.

In short, you can try to install it, if the drivers are the latest or the device is not supported(during installation) then nothing bad can/will happen.

Just in case, make sure you've backed up your critical contents from the OS side.
