First your AMD drivers need to be updated and, hopefully that will allow the crad to report the correct information. You can do that form the AMD website.
Display Memory: Unknown Dedicated Memory: n/a Shared Memory: n/a
Also, once you get new drivers, make sure the game is using the AMD card, your intel card won't be able to handle the game for long.

Differences in the way countries "count" dates can ve confusing. Over here, 4-10-2016 is April 10th, other parts of the world it's October 4th, but you'll probably have to set the game and the Catalyst Center to use only the Radeon when you want to play this game. You didn't have it set as the primary device when you ran the DxDiag report.

Personally, I am of the opinion that a laptop is a terrible game platform. The keyboards are awful and they are ecological nightmares. We're talking about GAMES, therefore the primary video is the GAME device. You should be on the main power, not any battery for gaming, so "saving power" is a dead end alleyway.

Have you performed a clean reinstallation of the graphics driver? That usually fixes this error. Use DDU to perform a clean installation.

I think that may already be the case since the error message refers to AMD's 16.10.1 driver.
