Mobility HD 5650 Windows 10 64 bit driver install


  1. Download and install amd-catalyst-15.11.1beta-64bit-win10-win8.1-win7-nov14.exe (http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx)
    1. DO NOT continue with Catalyst setup once it is installed
  2. Download and install latest version of Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html)
  3. Open DDU
    1. Click "No" when it asks you if you want to restart into Safe Mode
    2. Update if necessary (doing this now as network won't be available to update in Safe Mode)
  4. Reboot into safe mode (to do this easily open DDU and select "Yes" to reboot into safe mode)
  5. In device manager (Win + X then M) uninstall and delete both graphics drivers under "Display adapters"
  6. Open DDU
    1. Select the correct Graphic Driver (AMD)
    2. Click "Clean and restart"
  7. When Win10 boots open device manager and scan for hardware changes to update graphics drivers so the HD5000 is recognised (it may be necessary to re-open DDU and click "Set Windows Automatic Driver installation to default")
  8. After the stock drivers have been installed, right-click on the HD5000 and select "Update Driver Software..."
    1. Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
    2. Click "Let me pick from a list ..."
    3. Click "Have Disk..."
    4. Browse to Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF in the AMD-Catalyst-15.11.1... install folder (Mine was in C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-15.11.1Beta-64Bit-Win10-Win8.1-Win7-Nov14\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF)
    5. Select the first .inf file and click "Open"
    6. Click "OK"
    7. Select "AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series" from Model and click "Next"
    8. Complete installation
    9. Restart computer
  9. Run AMD-Catalyst-15.11.1... Setup.exe and install Catalyst Control Centre (CCC)
    1. Restart as necessary (whenever prompted in any step)
  10. Update CCC
  11. Update graphics drivers (should be 15.301.1801.1001 or above)
  12. Reboot computer.
At this point the drivers should work almost flawlessly, with the new fancy CCC, however I've found I cannot start the computer with an external HDMI monitor plugged in as this causes black screen syndrome... Further investigation required...
