Whats the difference between NUC graphics drivers and non NUC drivers?

So I was having issues with the driver windows update installed a few months ago with it crashing frequently, but that's justwhat was in the logs and would display a notification, but nothing really went black or anything. Somehow between trying to install a beta driver and uninstalling, I ended up with driver 20.19.15.4331. It runs great and has never crashed, but when I started searchingit, says it's for the Intel NUC. Is that an issue for my Intel i5 4210u HD4400 CPU?

Hello, Ebojager:

 

 

Actually some of the NUCs related to that driver have Intel® HD Graphics 4400, these drivers are designed for the NUC meaning they tested them and made sure they were going to work with that platform.

 

 

Installing them in another system that also has Intel® HD Graphics 4400 shouldn't be a problem, due to the fact they are meant to work with the same graphics engine (Intel® HD Graphics 4400).

 

 

If any additional questions or inquiries are present, feel free to contact us back.

Thank you very much. It's been working great so far so I might keep using it until issues arise.
