Windows does not let me install generic Intel drivers

[JWick5]

For gaming purposes, I have been trying to install latest version of Intel generic drivers on my laptop (Aspire ES1 512) since ones manufacturer (Acer) provides are severely outdated. I downloaded latest version from Intel's download center and tried to forcibly update my drivers. I always end up with Windows message telling me selected driver does not support this version of Windows. (Picture > http://imgur.com/a/Eh93c Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet ) . I m 100% sure i downloaded and picked correct driver.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks.

Hello Elisa7789,

I would like to share with you that the processor graphics for your CPU are the Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® HD Graphics 4600 belong to the 4th generation processors. You can corroborate that information here; http://ark.intel.com/products/82103/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N2840-1M-Cache-up-to-2_58-GHz Intel® Celeron® Processor N2840 (1M Cache, up to 2.58 GHz) Product Specifications. With that being said, the drivers for your graphics controller can be found here; https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81501 Downloads for Intel® HD Graphics 2500, this link helps to identify the drivers http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005538.html Downloads for Intel® Pentium® or Intel® Celeron® Processor.

For the installation, I recommend using this method; http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005629.html Manually Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 and Windows..., it will ensure the driver installation.
