1) Make sure you completely uninstalled the old drivers during Catalyst uninstall. Google "AMD Clean Uninstall" and get the Clean Uninstall Tool.

 

2) Turn off system and and  Plug in new GPU on MOBO and plug your hdmi (or other display cable) into the apu graphics output port from the mobo.

 

3) Start up and  install drivers for new card.

 

4) Turn off PC

 

5)Plug display cable into new GPU output port

 

At this point, it should work. If it doesn't, one other thing to try is to go into bios settings and make sure that the default display output is set to PCIE. This is sometimes under "CPU Configuration" settings. 

 

If that doesn't work either, try updating the bios. There's some risk in doing this...could brick the system. But it might be that there's a problem with the old bios not seeing GPUs on PCIE slot.

is there a free option?

partedmagic is free

 They changed it since I last used it

Use https://gparted.sourceforge.io/livecd.php

You can legally get PartedMagic for free via the world of torrents. Search for "pmagic_YYYY_MM_DD" on the appropriate sites and burn to DVD or use something like YUMI USB to create bootable USB drive. This is legal because PartedMagic is licensed under the GPL; it's just that Patrick Verner has turned it into his full-time job since he and his wife were laid off from their jobs back in 2013. Maybe they have new jobs now, maybe not; but the point here is that he's charging for the costs associated with developing and distributing the LiveCD as a digital download, since server space and bandwidth can be expensive.

Update:A Phoronix reader has written in with more information on the matter:
 

Michael,

As a long time user of Parted Magic, I too have been donating to the project because it's a very invaluable tool to me in my IT work. While some users are concerned and upset over the paywall, the reality *and* truth of the situation are a bit different.

I talk to Patrick Verner once in a while and for years Parted Magic has been something he did in his spare time. A little over a year ago, he lost his job and stated on the Parted Magic site that he would like to dedicate his full time to Parted Magic as a "job" if users could donate collectively at least $1,200 a month to the project for him to put food on the table and pay bills. A "salary" if you will.

Fast forward to July 2013, his wife has now lost her job. Donations to the project and goal of a monthly $1,200 were occasionally not being met. It was discouraging Patrick to the point that he wanted to stop the project because he couldn't get enough donations to live on for himself and his wife. Tens of thousands of people were downloading Parted Magic for free and, while not required, he *kindly* asked for even a dollar or anything people could spare to help him out. People were downloading it and not helping him out so he decided to make it a paywall so that he could encourage some revenue to come his way to now support his out-of-work wife and himself. It's perfectly fair of him to ask this considering his situation and his complete devotion to the parted magic project from a self-employment perspective. $4.99 is *not* going to break anyone's bank. He was going to ask for more but I actually told him $5 seemed like a fair donation/price. It seems he took my advice to heart.

The reality is people on eBay have already been selling CDs and bootable USBs of Parted Magic. Where is the outrage in that? Patrick hasn't seen a dime of that revenue so I don't understand why people are getting upset over the paywall. He's not asking for any more or less than what others on eBay are asking for Parted Magic who have not lifted a finger to create Parted Magic. He's perfectly within his rights to earn a self-employed living if there is no work to be found and his only means of supporting his family is to ask people to help him achieve that monetarily. Patrick has donated some of his donations to various projects/apps that are contained within Parted Magic and that, to me, shows he's not greedy but has the integrity and honesty to give back to the projects that help him earn a living.

Many have tried and failed to earn a living with Linux and I know many IT techs that do use Parted Magic and would truly be up a creek if Patrick were to cease the project. It's hard to make a living off of free. It's especially true when it's your only means of providing for your family. This hostile and derisive mentality towards Patrick's decision to put Parted Magic behind a paywall just so that he can pay bills and feed his family is just stupid and reflects very negatively on people who can't seem to have an iota of empathy towards a person in his situation. As I said to Patrick, if any zealous Linux evangelist doesn't like it or the direction he's taken the project, they can build their own Parted Magic and give it away for free. It will not even come close to the quality of Patrick's Parted Magic If people are complaining about a $4.99 donation to a project as good as Parted Magic, there is something seriously wrong with them. 
peace,
Arthur

Exploring the GNU General Public License

The GNU General Public License is an important document in the open source community, especially in the realm of Linux distributions. Much of the software we use on a regular basis, including the Linux kernel itself and most of our command line tools, are distributed under the General Public License (GPL). The GPL and the software freedoms it represents are key to the success of many free and open source software projects. Software freedom and the licenses which help enforce it are cornerstones in the GNU/Linux community and often used to entice users away from proprietary operating systems. The GNU GPL is frequently (almost continually) discussed on technology forums, free & open source websites and development mailing lists. With all this discussion, one thing becomes quite clear: relatively few people have read and understood the GPL.

This lack of understanding can be quite frustrating for free and open source software advocates as it makes having a reasonable discussion of the merits (or limitations) of the license difficult. A vocal portion of the open source community will talk at length about the license, praising it or tearing it apart, based on their (incorrect) assumptions. This has lead to further misunderstanding and, in some cases, a good deal of distress for developers. Take Patrick Verner, the lead developer of Parted Magic, as an example. In an effort to help make ends meet, Mr Verner recently started charging a small fee for direct downloads of Parted Magic, a project distributed under the GPL. Despite there being other avenues to acquire the Parted Magic software, the response was, Verner reported, unpleasant. "People are going nuts saying Parted Magic is no longer free software. People can still redistribute it under the terms of the GPL. Nothing has changed." Verner commented. He went on to say: "Some the forum posts said stuff about hacking my website and beating me up because my address is on-line."

These unfortunate comments seem to stem from a common misunderstanding, namely that software freedom requires that software be made available without cost. Such is not true and there is nothing in the GNU GPL which prevents charging for software. In fact the GNU website states that charging money for software licensed under the GPL is allowed. This is why software freedom advocates often quip that they are in favour of "free as in freedom, not free as in beer".

Another common misunderstanding with regards to the General Public License is that anyone modifying the source code of a program must then give back their changes to the original project. While this may be in the spirit of the GPL, it is not one of the requirements of the license. Individuals and companies can modify software licensed under the GPL all they want without sharing their changes. The GPL, after all, only covers software distribution. This is why companies, such as Google, can create their own GNU/Linux distributions and use them within the company and not share their modifications. So long as the company doesn't distribute their software outside of the organization there is no requirement for them to share their source code.

Speaking of the source code, there is a good deal of confusion about when a distributor must release their source code if their program is licensed under the GPL. Many people mistakenly believe a GPLed program must be accompanied with source code, freely available to anyone who wants it. This is not the case. When someone distributes software under the GPL they must comply with one of the three following options:

  • Accompany [the program] with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code.
  • Accompany [the program] with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third-party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code.
  • Accompany [the program] with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.

While most free software developers go with the first options, which is very polite and accommodating, developers are well within their rights to simply provide a written offer to provide their source code at cost. Or, in the case of non-commercial usage, people sharing programs can refer to upstream providers of the source code.

There is a lot of passion surrounding the GPL and the license includes some unusual concepts with regards to software distribution. This combination makes for a situation ripe with misunderstanding and heated debate. It is my hope that both proponents and detractors of the license will take the time to read this important document. The GPL is a useful and philosophically interesting license and I think we would all be better off if people took the time to better understand it.
