Graphics Drivers Updates

Jacob2 — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 10:35:14 GMT

Hi,

I have recently been made aware that our graphics drivers have not been updated since 2013 and need to be. I have tried installing the intel driver & support assistant but it produces an error whilst scanning my PC. Which driver updates do I need to install and how do I install them? The processor is a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz.

Thanks

That processor is from 2008 and did not include graphics. Rather, there were Intel chipset graphics. There is no update from Intel for anything this old. If you are running Windows 10, you have the Microsoft generic graphics driver.

Sorry, for something this old, you need to take it to the recycle bin and replace it with a new or much newer machine.

This thread is more than 4-years-old. You should have started a new thread for yourself.

Your processor (and chipset) are VERY old and far from being supported now. You can try digging around here for drivers.

My opinion is that you should not be concerned about the graphic driver update on a 20-year-old processor.
