Hi, I bought a used Lenovo laptop called G510. On the official site it says the computer has either an R7-M265 chip or a Radeon HD8750 7 (link). However, when I try to install drivers for that graphics card, nothing works because the system thinks the discrete GPU is missing or fake. I can't use any specific driver software at all. Can I just rely on the integrated graphics? What made this problem happen? Did the previous owner take out the GPU?

Do you see it when you look at the device manager? You might also need to check the BIOS settings because something could be turned off in there too.

You don't see this problem when you check Device Manager. But if you find that graphics settings are turned on in the BIOS, then it might be a display issue instead of a hardware fault.

Are you seeing a yellow warning sign on any of your gadgets in Device Manager? Also, check if there are anything else shown under Other Devices.

Every driver is now working well, so you won't see any error messages. On the "Other Device" tab, you'll find just a single Bluetooth option instead of many more choices.
