Cannot find Windows 10 driver for Celeron 3215U HD Graphics

[jgupt1]

m looking at this page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/84810/Intel-Celeron-Processor-3215U-2M-Cache-1-70-GHz- Drivers & Software

there's no option to download a windows 10 graphics driver for this cpu.

This was launched in Q2 2015, isn't intel supporting Windows 10 on this pretty new cpu?

I can download a driver from dell.com, but why's a generic driver not provided on the intel website? my other laptop i7 5500U has a windows 10 compatible graphics driver available from intel https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/86210/Intel-HD-Graphics-5500-for-5th-Generation-Intel-Core-Processors Drivers & Software

[jgupt1]

Come on, anybody?

This is not a terribly old CPU, it's based on the Broadwell architecture. Why won't intel release a generic driver for this CPU IGP?

Is it because this is an entry level CPU and intel doesn't care for the poor? I don't use Dell drivers, even now m using a vostro with the Celeron 3215 CPU, with intel drivers, not dell drivers. Drivers downloaded from Intel are always newer/better than drivers downloaded from HP/Dell. I use Intel drivers for ALL my laptops (i3 2310M, i7 5500U, and this celeron 3215U). When/ if I upgrade to Windows 10, where will I get a generic Intel IGP driver for this CPU?

If someone from Intel is reading this, please help.

If someone who knows about this is reading, please help.

I really need a generic driver for Windows 10. I will definitely not be gaming on a notebook celeron, but nevertheless I'd need a driver that allows hardware acceleration for web browsers/ video player software, and allows me to control the screen brightness of the laptop.

Thank you

Hello, Awesumium:

Have you tested with the following drivers?64-bit: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25176/Intel-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit-N-Series-?product=92133 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25176/Intel-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit-N-Series-?product=9213332-bit: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25149/Intel-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-32-bit-N-Series-?product=81505 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25149/Intel-HD-Graphics-Production-Driver-for-Windows-10-32-bit-N-Series-?product=81505I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello Intel Corporation

Thanks for your reply.

Well, I cannot try this first hand, as my celeron laptop is currently running 8.1 (not 10).

These drivers are not certified for use with the 3215U CPU, these are for the newer N series (braswell) celerons. The celeron 3000 series is Broadwell based if I'm right? They have 15W TDP and CPU-Z shows the identifier as "core i3/i5/i7 5xxx".

It's highly doubtful these will work on the 3215U, if they did, wouldn't you guys post this in the 3215U drivers page? I'll probably get that "your PC doesn't have the minimum requirements to install this software" message when I try to load this up, but can't say for sure as I haven't tried it personally.

The thing is, when I go to dell.com and enter this laptop's service tag, it says "Dell has tested this computer and confirmed it is compatible with Windows 10", and then offers me the choice of either downloading Windows 10 drivers from Dell (including the graphics driver), or start the Windows 10 upgrade right away.. Yet, a generic version of the driver is not available from Intel. It's pretty weird. I understand if Intel won't make a generic driver for my older i3 2310M/HD3000 laptop, (although even that isn't very old, I got it like 4 years back). But this celeron laptop was purchased only a month back. Now that m planning to upgrade to 10, I cannot find a generic driver for my 1 month old laptop 😞

If the N series IGP drivers work on the 3000 series, why isn't intel posting a link for these in the 3000 series download pages?

NONE of the celeron 3000 series IGPs have a single Windows 10 driver available from Intel, not just my 3215U...

The release notes does state it will work with select celeron processors. For the life of me, I wouldn't have looked in a core-i / xeon series page for a Celeron series driver. Thanks for taking the trouble and finding this for me. Really appreciated.

I hope Intel will link this driver to the 3215U drivers page, it's near impossible to find without expert help if it's not present in the official product support page.
