I recently purchased a new laptop for school and moderate gaming and figured the first game I wanted to play was minecraft. I downloaded it from the website and began to play it, and noticed there was a lot of lag and merely 10-15 fps when playing fullscreen (which I usually play in). When I resized the windowed view down to a very small view, the game got a crazy 70-100 fps. I've never had a problem playing MC on my dell laptops before, are my specs bad to play it? Or did Mojang change something to have minecraft play terribly now? I have tried allocating more RAM to the game in the arguments, but it doesn't affect the gameplay whatsoever. I'm confused as to why none of these methods work. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Specs:
Dell Inspiron 7548
OS: Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM: 12.0 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
It should install your new graphics drivers then ask to to restart the computer. Do so then try the game again.
If that doesn't help try lowering you Video Options inside Minecraft, mainly lower the render distance. If you still get very low FPS and issues, its cause the laptop only has the Intel HD Graphics, and not a dedicated graphics chip.
So I did a little research and, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like Minecraft is running off of my integrated Intel graphics card, and not my AMD Radeon. Is it possible to tell the program to use the other Graphics Card?

Could be your graphics drivers. If the laptop is new they should be recent, but if it sat in a warehouse for a while, it may have an older version installed. Download and Install the .exe file from this page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25232/Intel-Iris-Iris-Pro-and-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64bit

Moderatorshould be a setting in the AMD control panel, i believe its under 3d application settings, need to tell it to allow java to use the AMD card.
easy way to see which card is in use is to load a minecraft world and press F3, it says the GPU on right
