He has to go to the Sony site that will only give him issues

If he is running a intel chip with a AMD discret graphics then he must have HD graphics to which means he needs a dual driver for both and upgrading the amd driver is probally not a good idea

Once it is set thats it and it being a laptop they don't update them too much

I would look up your model go to the sony site and get your drivers from them

Look up your Model number on the bottom because i can't find what you gave me on there site but sure enough you have intel hd 3000 meaning you need a dual driver package
