Why can't I update my graphics driver?

I've tried to update my Intel HD Graphics driver with the latest one (15.33.30.64.3958) but after the download it says that my laptop does not meet the minimum system requirements.

My laptop has the Intel Core i5 460M CPU@2.53GHz processor and Intel HD Graphics.

Tnx in advance.

Avvocato, the driver you are trying to install on your laptop is compatible with the 3rd generation Intel HD Graphics 2500 and 4000.

The processor you are using comes with 1st Generation HD graphics therefore the drivers you need to use are available at the following link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3231 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=3231

Please bear in mind that our drivers are generic and sometimes system manufacture does not allow the installation of them.

If you are still want to install our drivers, you may try forcing the installation by performing manual procedure, however I cannot assure you they are going to work as expected.
