I have two entries under "Display adaptors" in Device Manager:

AMD Radeon R9 M200X Series
Intel(R) HD Graphics Family

I don't know which one my laptop uses.
Much like my laptop, it can use either or both depending on how your system in configured. If you right click on a blank spot on your desktop, select Display Properties and then Advanced display settings, you can see what driver your display is connected to. I've attached some images from my laptop as an example.

If you are using the laptop display, you should be able to disable one of the drivers to force the other to be used. Or this may be an option in the Radeon control panel if it is one that is customized for your laptop. I know on my laptop, I need to do any display driver updates from the Lenovo site unless I want to have "interesting" results and the customized Nvidia control panel allows me some control over which video chipset is active.
