How to update drivers for AMD hybrid graphics (on Windows)?

I have a laptop Lenovo g505s (version A10 5750M + HD 8570M + FreeDOS + 4GB).
So, recently Amudia stopped supporting my integrated video card in the CPU (Radeon HD 8650G), and the latest version of the drivers is 16.2.1, and that's beta. It just does not support the 12th direct, but the discrete video card (HD 8570M) is still supported, and supports the 12th direct .
But the fact is that a discrete video card depends on the integrated one (why? Because the engineers of the hands .. hands grow from the wrong place), but the integrated one does not depend on the external one (this is judging by the fact that in the stock BIOS you can enable either UMA Graphics, or Switchable Graphics, but Only discrete graphics simply NO).
Accordingly, when you try to install a new driver, Crimson says that, they say, go fuck yourself, your video card is not supported, and only the first one is not supported. So you never know that she does not allow you to install new drivers, so she also eats the frame!
He also talked about flashing coreboot, but no one knows how to disable this harmful video card.
How to be in that case? Are there any solutions?
Yes, it is clear that you should not take laptops with hybrid graphics, etc...

The built-in "video card" cannot be disabled, because the two video cards are connected via Crossfire, and the video outputs come from the built-in one. First, a stable version for the integrated video card is installed (including the second one), then the driver for the first one is updated. For the second, installing a new driver will not work. There is only one solution - do not take such rubbish.
