I am writing to you for help with a problem I have been experiencing when trying to update the graphics drivers for my Intel Core i3 M380 processor.
I have recently been trying to improve the graphics performance of my system and have attempted to update the graphics drivers through the Intel website. However, I have been having difficulty finding a version that is compatible with my processor and operating system.
My processor is an Intel Core i3 M380, which is part of Intel's mobile processor series released in the first quarter of 2010. My operating system is Windows 10
I have tried searching the Intel website and have tried several versions of graphics drivers, but none of them seem to be compatible with my configuration.
Could someone give me some guidance on where I can find the right version of graphics drivers for my processor and operating system? Also, are there any other steps I need to take to ensure a successful graphics driver update?
I appreciate in advance any help or advice you can offer me.

Your processor is a 1st generation Core processor. Intel only supported (provided graphics drivers for) Windows 10 with 3rd generation and later processors. There simply is no Windows 10 graphics driver for your processor from Intel. Any that you attempt to install are not going to succeed.
Now, Microsoft provided a compatibility driver that allowed 1st and 2nd generation Core processors to be used with Windows 10. This compatibility driver was built into the Windows Update service and automatically installed with Windows 10 was being installed. This is what you have been using to date. As you have seen, the performance of this compatibility driver is not the greatest and its compatibility with recent versions of the common graphics APIs (OpenGL, OpenCL, etc.) is, well, awful. Further, Microsoft has stated that they will not be updating these compatibility drivers.
Bottom line, what you have is what you have. If this is not good enough for what you need to do, then your only recourse is going to be upgrading your hardware.
Sorry,
