Problem updating my graphics driver

Hello.

I have a VAIO Pro 13'' laptop, with a Intel HD Graphics 4400 card inside, and I experience bad performance when i play small browser games or even watching YouTube videos in 720p/1080, I guess its because i have some old drivers. When I run Intel Driver Update Utility i get the following response:

Product Detectedhttp://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelhdgraphics4400 Intel® HD Graphics 4400Current Driver Installed10.18.10.3304Newer Driver Available:15.33.18.64.3496 (10.18.10.3496)

But when I try to download and install it to my laptop, i just get the ''Driver is not supported for you system'' kind of thing.

Does anyone know why i get this message when i try to update my driver? Hope that some of you know what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for joining the graphics community.

I am sorry to hear that have had problems updating Intel Graphics Driver.

That message indicates that your computer manufacturer does not allow the installation of generic Intel video drives. You are required to install drivers from your computer manufacturer; however, you may try forcing the installation of Intel generic drivers by performing manual procedure, see here for instructions:

Select your operating system version and download the zip version of the video driver:
