Probably not possible. The internal display and the outputs are controlled by the IGPU in the APU because models without the dedicated GPU are also on offer.

can someone tell me how to disable AMD A4 APU on Lenovo G505? In BIOS I can choose between UMA/Switchable graphics,but I don't want to switch or use only the integrated one..I want to use the dedicated one permanently.Any ideas?Tbh I don't even know how to check what is the currently used GPU on my laptop....just I want to permanently use the dedicated one,the APU is useless
