I want to install AMD Radeon graphics for my ubuntu budgie 18.10. This is my current Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2)
I want to change it to AMD Radeon. How to install appropriate drivers for this ?

I am running dual boot with Windows 10 and ubuntu budgie 18.10. When I open windows, the default graphics is radeon, but when I boot ubuntu, it is taking intel graphics

This is my output for lscpu :-

First of all, you should not need to install anything: Ubuntu comes with the AMDGPU driver(s). Power down, install card, connect monitor to new card, power up.

If you want or need to install the AMDGPU Pro driver, then this link will tell you how: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-635

Again, you probably won't need to do anything.
