Hi,
Is it a good idea to replace manufacturer's drivers which come with preinstalled Windows 10 with actual drivers from Intel website? I consider that the Intel graphics drivers I receive from Acer are outdated (writes me current version 21.20.16.4550 and on their support site I can't see any links which refer to newer drivers). When I downloaded Intel Driver Update Utility it notices me about manufacturer's modified drivers.
What do you suggest?

On my Acer rig generic drivers work fine, actually Acer does no customisations except from using SUBSYS_IDs

Thank you so much for a nice guide, but I'm still not able to update it to 4627 version. It stuck on 4550 from 11/11/2016. When I'm attempting to update it a different way, I always get a warning that it couldn't allow me to start manual re-installation. I'm trying to do it on Acer Aspire S13.

Try the "have disk method" instead.
Use following guide (ignore prologue babbling about Microsoft Surface)

This method works and drivers will successfully install, but after OS restart it returns back to previous state. I think I have to figure out how to disable Windows graphics driver auto updating.

Hello vittsjo,
I understand you would like to know if it is or not a good idea to install our generic graphics drivers on your Acer* computer.
Let me apologize for any inconvenience this issue may be causing to you.
If the computer is currently working fine then there is no need to update graphics driver. If you are having graphics issues in your computer then you can try installing our generic graphics driver. If our generic graphics driver does not work properly the best option would be reinstalling the graphics driver Acer* has validated for your computer.
You can also try installing graphics driver version using the steps that are on this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1KzoQDjMMY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1KzoQDjMMY
If you use the YouTube video please download the .zip file that is on this link https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26669/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-45-?product=88345 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26669/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-45-?product=88345
