Try to reinstall HD4000 and message says my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements

I uninstalled the HD4000 driver because it has been marked as damaged and disconnected for awhile. I found the correct driver for 64 bit, Windows 8.1 system and when I try to install, it goes through the motions and then tells me my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements and it doesn't install. Help? I think this missing driver is the reason why I can't connect a second monitor to do my contract work and I really need this to work. I have always used a second monitor with my laptop - this Dell Inspiron 15z Core i5 laptop - and then, it stopped. Anyone? I am savvy but I am not an IT and I just don't have the money to take this in, so trying to troubleshoot and repair myself. Thanks.

I had gone into the device manager, found the graphics card, clicked uninstall, and after a few minutes, it disappeared from the list. It is not there now. Could it be I am unable to re-install the replacement driver (the same one) because I didn't reboot the computer first? I don't think I can follow your list of steps because it isn't there now?

I actually downloaded and tried 3 (desperation):

win64_152823

win64_153330

win64_153332

And none would install for the reason I stated in the first message.

Hello Mleister, thanks for joining the Graphics Community.

We always recommend customers to download and install the drivers provided by the system manufacture, since our drivers are generic drivers and sometimes these cannot be installed on other systems or the installation of them could overwrite their customizations and possibly change the functionality of the graphics.

Could you please attach the DX Diag report from your system?

(Start -> Run -> dxdiag -> Save All Information).

 

 

Regards,
