Can't game on my new, strong laptop

So I'm having a problem. I was able to get my computer, the Pavilion 15-p263nr, on sale this past week, and am very excited. It has a quad core AMD A10-4655M Processor (2.0ghz to 2.8ghz), 8GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon HD 7620G with 4224MB of graphics memory. I love to game, and these specs seemed to suffice for that habit. I downloaded AMD's Gaming Evolved software to optimize my games to run them better. Judging from the fact that the program optimized all games to be at highest quality, I assumed that that meant this laptop was able to do so. Now here's the problem; I tried to play Hitman: Absolution, and to my surprise, it was not able to run at those settings. I was only able to get it to run smoothly by changing it to the lowest possible graphics. A friend of mine has an HP Pavilion with less RAM, storage, and a lower end GPU, and he says that he has no problem gaming. Is there any reason for this? I thought about using Overdrive, but it seems my laptop is unable to use that program because of restrictions placed by HP.  Is there any way to fix this problem? The laptop is amazing, and judging by the specs, it should be able to handle gaming without too much of a problem. Somebody please help, I love the convenience of having a laptop to game with because I can just turn on my Dualshock 4 and start gaming, but it seems that for some reason, I'm unable to. Somebody please help, I'm desperate.

I think problem is your CPU and GPU. The AMD 7620G is a base video card and not top of the line for AMD you probably wanted one with 7700 or higher to get good gaming. And also this setup is not a Gaming laptop if you want Gaming HD you can be expected to spend around 2000US or higher for true HD Gaming. Those are called and labled Gaming Laptop and have Price/Weight to show for it. Also AMD CPU aren't the best in gaming computing it plays 3rd fiddle to any iNtel CPU.
