Hello lmlim,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

The Intel® Arc™ Graphics Windows* DCH Driver is for Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics. In your case, you need to download the Intel® Graphics – Windows* DCH Drivers (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html) 

Keep in mind that installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your computer manufacturer (OEM) customized driver. OEM drivers are handpicked and include customized features and solutions to platform-specific issues, so we always recommend installing the latest driver provided by the OEM.

Let me know if you have any concerns.
