Graphics Driver Required

NMeno — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:29:18 GMT

Hi, I just bought a new desktop PC, with the following Hardwares:

Processor: Intel core i5-7500 CPU 3.40GHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte B250M-HD-CF

OS: Windows 8 Professional 64bit

I'm having a hard time finding the drivers for this setup, specially the Graphics driver.

I've tried all the possible versions from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/, but none of them worked

The error messages are: "This installation pacage is not supported by this processor type"

and "The computer doesnot meet the minimum requirements...."

It would be really helpful if you could provide me the accurate Graphics driver version and it's download link.

Thanks in advance.

No Windows OS below Windows 10 is supported on kaby Lake (7th gen) processors.

Thus, there is no driver available for WIndows 8.x

Any other suggestion except for switching to Windows 10?

I'm really comfortable with 8.

Windows 10, or Linux.

Seriously, I do not know anyone who was happy and comfortable with WIndows 8. Windows 8.1 was marginally better, in my opinion.

If you upgrade to Windows 10, I believe you will be very comfortable, and glad you did. There is a reason why Windows 8.x was such a miserable failure, not that Windows 10 is winning any contests.

Upgrade, be happy.
