Windows – Intel HD 2000 windows 10 graphics drivers

driversgraphics cardintel graphicswindows 10

According to this chart there is no driver support for a core i3-2100 on windows 10. I would really like to get the driver for this so I can properly use the 2 video outputs on my motherboard. (Currently they are stuck as mirrored and at 800×600).

Is there some 3rd party or beta driver I can download, or maybe an intel one that isn't mentioned on the chart?

There's an unofficial driver called UniFL, what you need to do is go over to http://leshcatlabs.net/downloads_unfil/ then, download the latest version, open the file, go to advanced, make sure the "intel hd graphics(modern) option is selected and press "Deploy", then go over to where the installers were deployed and look for the intel folder, inside it there's another folder whose name ends with "win10"(for me it was "C:\Drivers\Catalyst_15.11_Beta_UnifL_v1.0\Intel\9.17.10.4229\9.17.10.4229_win81_win10") Open it and run Setup.exe, then you're done.

I stumbled upon it after searching for over a month, and it seems to be working for me with my i5-2310(intel HD2000)

Actually, you might want to navigate to "C:\Drivers\Catalyst_15.11_Beta_UnifL_v1.0\Intel\9.17.10.4229\9.17.10.4229_win7_win81" and install that driver instead, it seems to be working better than the other one and even makes the "Graphics properties" intel driver option show up when right clicking the windows desktop

Windows – Installing drivers for switchable graphics

I've had a similar problem with my laptop and I've found a trick. My problem was that the original driver is very old and I wanted an updated driver. I've called the manufactor of my laptop but they refuse to update the driver. Any new driver from my graphic card didn't work because of this onboard and discrete switchable graphic card thing. I didn't care much about the switchable options but I didn't make it work. The trick is to use the old original installer and swap the graphic card driver with a recently updated driver. AMD graphic driver is only a tiny part of the huge package with CCC and so on. This works great.

Windows – What happens if I don’t install NVIDIA drivers on laptop

Yes what you've done is fine. Since Win7, windows has become very good in finding automatically working drivers.

The things that you lose without downloading the official NVIDIA drivers are:

Optimization - With NVIDIA drivers, you get in-depth configurations options which can gives you much higher frame rate (no extremely important if you don't play games)
Updates - NVIDIA probably release an update 1-2 times a month, these updates are hotfixes, software improvements, optimization and additional features
100% utilization - By not having the official NVIDIA software running, your system won't get the full use out of the graphics cards (however, this eats your battery)

They are the main points, but if your not experiencing any problems, then I wouldn't worry about it.
