It's done either with the Catalyst software or the context menu -- i.e., right-click on the application and choose to have it run with the AMD GPU.

How to I open context menu? If you want you can sent me a video. By the way is amd gpu better than intel gpu and can I activate both gpu's at once?

Right-click on the icon for the program you want to run with the discrete GPU.

Both GPUs will be active unless your system has a firmware setting (in setup) that allows you to enable one or the other of them -- some of these systems do have that option.  F2 at powerup to access settings.
