Where can I download Intel® graphics drivers that support the Microsoft Windows 7* operating system?
Starting with the Intel® 945 Express Chipset families, Intel makes available generic versions of the Intel graphics driver for Windows 7 OS. You can choose not to use the validated driver from your computer manufacturer and install an Intel generic driver. Generic drivers are available from the Intel Download Center. If you encounter a problem while using the generic driver, Intel recommends reinstalling the validated driver from your computer manufacturer.
| Note |
To avoid potential installation incompatibilities, Intel recommends checking with your computer manufacturer to see if Windows 7 is a supported operating system (OS) and a driver update is available. Some computer manufacturers require that their customized and validated drivers be used for your specific computer model. | | Windows 7 OS drivers are not available for the older Intel® 810, 815, 845, 852, 855, or 865 chipsets or Intel® 910 or 915 Express chipsets. But, your integrated graphics controller can support Windows 7 OS by using XPDM drivers.
