Dell Inspiron 13 5000 / Intel HD 620 Graphics Driver for Windows 8.1 / Intel Core i3 7100

[IInma]

Hi,

I have the following configuration:

Dell Inspiron 13 5000 series

Intel HD 620 Graphics

Intel Core i3 7100 CPU

I've just moved the computer over to dual boot between Windows 10 (it's installed operating system) and Windows 8.1. I've found Windows 8.1 to be a little less bloaty, a little snappier, plus I can control when updates are installed. With a slow broadband connection where I live, Windows 10 insisting on downloading updates can slow down the broadband at times to the point it can seem like I'm back on dial-up.

I tried installing the Intel HD 620 Windows 10 driver under Windows 8.1 and I got a message saying my processor was designed to work with Windows 10.

I've been reading the below threads and tried to use some of the solutions suggested where relevant to Windows 8.1, however, I've failed to make any of the solutions to work.

At the moment, I'm stuck with "Microsoft Basic Display Driver" as my standard configuration, however, I know I'm not getting the best out of my system as it stands. My system is still slightly sharper under Windows 8.1 so I intend to persevere.

I did try posting to the end of one of the old threads, however, it appears they're now no longer live so to speak hence the new thread.

Can anyone help?

Thanks and regards,

Ian

Hello Doggerland_Mackem,

I understand you are trying to install graphics driver on Windows 8.1*. Let me apologize for any inconvenience this issue may be causing to you. What happens is that the Intel® HD Graphics 620 supports Windows 10* only so there are no drivers available for older operating systems including Windows 8.1*. The following links will provide more compatibility information. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005526/graphics-drivers.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005526/graphics-drivers.html https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4012982/the-processor-is-not-supported-together-with-the-windows-version-that https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4012982/the-processor-is-not-supported-together-with-the-windows-version-that Let me know if you have or not any other inquiry.
