My graphic card change when I finished upgraded to windows 10


So, I have a Sony Vaio VPCEA25FG, the spec is i3 2.27 Ghz, 4 gb of ram, and ATI Radeon 5145 when I was windows 7, but after I upgraded to windows 10, the graphics card, change to ATI Radeon 4500, what should I do to get the 5145?

Thx for the answer, and sorry for my bad English

What performance issues are you having with the graphics card?

Actually I still dont have performance issues because I havent test it with software, but I just wanted to have the 5145

Do the testing first before you spend too much time on how or why Windows renamed your hardware.

In this instance, it may be a case of 'Windows knows best!'

Your laptop includes an Intel CPU with built-in graphics (I3-350M), and separate AMD Radeon Mobility 5145 graphics.

I have no personal experience with this, but I believe that the laptop uses both graphics devices: the Intel one for low power consumption, the Radeon for when higher performance is needed.

I think that you need to have drivers for both installed. Are your graphics really displayed as "Radeon 4500"? That seems strange.

AMD drivers: Desktop

(The Mobility 500 series is supposed to be supported.)

I find the Intel graphics driver download selections to be confusing, but the I3-350m may not have drivers newer than Windows 7 available. (They ought to work, though.)

Guess you missed this press release from Sony:

Okey then thanks,

Well, I will test it then, thank you
