Intel HD Graphics 1st gen Drivers - Windows 10 TUTORIAL (100% WORKING)

Hey guys,

Looking for weeks on how to install Intel HD Graphics drivers (1st gen) on Windows 10, I found a way to do this, it's working nicely for me, and I'm sure it will work for you too.

Just follow these steps:

PART 1:

1 - Download your driver file (.zip) for Windows 7;

2 - On the folder, look for another folder, named "Graphics";

3 - Open the file "kit51428.inf" (I don't know, but on recent drivers it looks like the name of this file has changed, but there's only one ".inf" file inside this folder);

4 - Copy everything under [IntelGfx.NTamd64.6.0] (or equivalent for 32-bit) and paste it under [IntelGfx.NTamd64.6.2];

5 - Save the file.

 

PART 2:

 

6 - Before you run the Setup, you have to restart the system on a different way, like it's made on this video, to make possible to install unsigned drivers on your Windows;

7 - Now, you can run the Setup inside Intel Driver's folder;

8 - The system will probably ask you if you want to install unsigned drivers, just click OK;

9 - After the install, you will have all the features you had on Windows 7;

ENJOY!

 

Sorry for the terrible English guys, despite this, the tutorial is accurate.

 

UPDATE!!! Windows 10 will eventually try to remove your driver (OF COURSE, IT'S "UNSIGNED" RIGHT?) and restore to Microsoft's one... To avoid this, Microsoft released a tool, here's the link, just follow the instructions and disable Microsoft's driver update on it... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 That's it... Now you can play your games, use your HDMI, watch videos with a better quality etc.

OK, sounds like the only difference is the driver version itself and the fact that it could have been modified by your OEM to react differently than a non-OEM driver. One last question. Did your extracted driver have a security catalog file? If so, then the only way we'll know for sure is if someone else tries to install the same driver as I did and gets it to work (like you did). Then I can conclusively say that I must have done something wrong. This is my last post on this issue. Cheers!

There is a kit32162.cat together with the kit32162.inf I had to modify.

Can I ask you how did you extracted the driver from Sony exe? Everything I tried so far has failed me. Thanks.

Hi, launch the exe, wait for the extraction to finish, don't close the install program and then you can copy the files from a temp folder (look for Sony Corporation\Sony Packaging Manager\PackagingTemp\ on your disk).

I installed this Windows 7 x64 driver v8.15.10.2182 :http://download.sony-europe.com/PUB/VAIO/Updates/EP0000245027.exe http://download.sony-europe.com/PUB/VAIO/Updates/EP0000245027.exe designed for a VAIO Arrandale Laptop (and on a VAIO Arrandale Laptop)

This worked for me on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z with a Pentium G6960 CPU and the Ironlake graphics processor. The basic Windows 7 10 driver would not give any resolution options beyond 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1600x1200, none of which were correct.

I had to disable driver signing (see instructions here: http://www.drivethelife.com/windows-drivers/how-to-disable-driver-signature-enforcement-on-windows-10-8-7-xp-vista.html Top 2 Ways to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement on Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP/Vista | Driver Talent) after modifying the INF file to include the specific hardware ID string for the Ironlake, which has the same VEN and DEV ID's as one of the ID's included in the INF, but a different SUBSYS (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0042&SUBSYS_306A17AA). I also had to do a direct driver update from within Device Manager by pointing it to the INF file from "Let me choose a driver" option, and I did get an unsigned driver warning. Once I was done with all of that though, it worked and has persisted across reboots, even after driver signature enforcement was enabled again.

The Sony driver extracts to "C:\ProgramData\Sony Corporation" folder, so don't bother looking for it in your user "%temp%" folder. You'll only want the files in the "GRAPHICS" subfolder. The control panel and that sort of thing will not be installed, and while there's a guy who has gotten those to work in previous versions of Windows (8/8.1) for certain older chipsets, it's honestly probably more hassle than it's worth. Just be happy you get a functional display driver again and don't have to buy a new motherboard/CPU/RAM combo, or in my case a new All-in-One computer.

Sadly this is not a 100% working solution: everything seemed fine until I tried to use an external monitor via VGA cable and the system crashed.

 

I'm using an i5-480m on windows 10 1511

Thanks! It worked!

However, my original issue still remains. Garmin Basecamp still does not display 3D maps because it says that my display driver does not support openGL 1.6. However is does support OpenGL 2.1 as proven by GPU caps viewer (http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/ http://www.ozone3d.net/gpu_caps_viewer/)

Does anyone expierence similar issues? Is there any known sollution?

Kind regards
