My PC's CPU is a Core i5-6600 but I'm receiving a notification from the Intel Driver and Support program saying that there is a 7th+ generation CPU driver upgrade. What can I do to solve this?

What "CPU Driver Update"? Are you talking about the Intel HD Graphics driver package? It is also for 6th gen processors; it is not limited to 7th gen and newer.

Your response was lost in the forum changeover. It was:

No, the name of the update is "Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) user interface and driver for Intel® 7th generation and latest platform".

Ah. That's a chipset (PCH) device/feature, not CPU. Regardless, I believe that it can still be used with your system. Is the update failing?

This update is not appearing anymore, thankfully. But when I tried to download and install it, an error message would pop up saying that my system is not compatible.
