The best resource for the latest graphics driver is your computer manufacturer. Intel does provides generic versions of the Intel graphics drivers through the Intel Download Center; however, your computer manufacturer may have altered the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the graphics driver software or software packaging to support your computer. Intel recommends you download the latest driver from your computer manufacturer to avoid potential problems.
Get latest generic graphics driver from the online driver utility
The easiest way to get the latest generic driver is to use the Intel® Driver Update Utility. This utility will check whether a newer graphics driver is available for your computer, and if available, provides a download link to install the newer driver.
NOTE: If the Intel Driver Update Utility displays a message that it has detected a customized computer manufacturer graphics driver, click here for additional information.
