So, you bought the NVIDIA video card of your dreams, installed it in your PC, but when you install the video card driver, you receive a message that the installation cannot continue without installing the Intel driver. Where to find it and how to install it, read below.

The easiest way: use to update all drivers automatically and get rid of the problem.

In fact, the problem can be easily solved, since video card manufacturers supply discs with all the necessary drivers to their products. If you have such a disk, then insert it into the floppy drive, find the driver on it and go to the "Installing Intel Driver" subheading of this article. If you do not have the disk, you can find the Intel driver on the Internet, and there are two ways to do this.

We use special software from Intel

For people who do not want to search for drivers, Intel has developed software that simplifies this task. So, to get the coveted driver, follow this link and download.

Once the search is over, you will see the Intel drivers that need to be installed on your PC in the list. Find the Intel® HD Graphics Driver and click on the Download button. The driver will be downloaded to the directory specified in the Default download directory field.

The use of this software is good because it allows you to get all the Intel drivers necessary for the PC to work correctly.

Downloading the driver without software

The problem can be solved without software, by self download Intel drivers. To do this, follow the link and select the driver version for your operating system. Then click on the button with the arrow, this will start the download process.

Intel - largest manufacturer graphics for desktops, laptops and tablets. Why not Nvidia or AMD, you say? Everything is simple here - 95% of custom processors from Intel have graphics inside them, and the fact that most processors are produced by Intel is still a fact. Of course, not all of these video cards use, and those who use often have ultrabooks and use them to watch videos and surf the Internet, which such graphics can handle without any problems even on those drivers that are installed automatically through the update center.

But still, there are a number of people who are not averse to playing even on ultrabooks. Yes, of course, you will have to forget about ultra settings and FHD (but what is really there - often you need to forget about HD), but in old games of the year before 2013, as well as in massive Online Games, it is quite possible to play with comfortable fps and resolution. And here the question of drivers becomes acute, because drivers are installed through the update center ... for the month of March:

Yes, they are suitable for watching movies and surfing the Internet, but not particularly for games, especially since the Intel website has drivers for the end of August, and they have a lot of "goodies":

All three new games will be quite playable on integrated video cards, and in general, for all three graphics, this is not the most important indicator. But what is the problem then, you say? You just need to download and install new driver... Everything is correct, but not everything works - when installing a new driver, you will most likely receive this error:


Why is this happening? No, not because the driver is not suitable for this PC - unlike Nvidia or AMD, all Intel graphics cards are reference cards by default. The reason for this is that Intel has up to three (!!) driver branches for the same video card (for example, a separate branch only for Windows 10, separate for Windows 7, 8 and 10, and a separate one only for the two newest architectures and Windows 10), and when switching between branches, this error appears.

However, it is not very difficult to get around it - you just need to remove the current driver and install a new one from scratch. How to completely remove the video driver I wrote here -. After removing the old driver and rebooting, the new driver will be installed without any problems, but another problem appears - the update center still considers this driver to be incorrect, so after a while it will download the old one, from March, and install it. To prevent this from happening, you need to prevent Windows from updating the driver specifically for the video card. The easiest way to do this is with a small Microsoft programs Show or Hide updates, which you can download.

You need to run this tool, wait while it looks for updates, then click on Hide Updates and select all graphic drivers:

That's it, now you have the newest driver on the graphics, and the system can't do anything about it. If for some reason it does not suit you, just download it from the laptop manufacturer's website latest driver and install it (or again, through the same tool, allow updating drivers and wait for the system to do this).

How to fix the error that appears during the installation of drivers on intel hd graphics - "This system does not satisfy minimum requirements"?

Installing intel hd graphics driver - "This system does not meet the minimum requirements"

An error message with the text "This system does not meet the minimum Intel HD Graphics requirements" appears when a user tries to install drivers on their Intel-integrated graphics card. The problem is usually well-defined, and in order to solve it, it is worth identifying the specific cause.

Why the error appears: the most common causes

Most often, the system "swears" in such cases:

1. Corrupted driver installation file.
2. The user is trying to put a "curve" unlicensed software.
3. When downloading a file with drivers (even from the official site), the wrong system bit depth was selected.

If one of these cases accurately describes the situation, the solution to the problem can be found below.

Pirate software

If the drivers were downloaded from third-party resource, then the risk of an error is really great: the fact is that such products are usually affixed digital signature, which is monitored for compliance. Therefore, the system does not allow such software to pass through. Treatment - remove third party program and download required files... Typically, such data is stored for many years from the date of the card's release.

Bit depth

This option usually arises for two reasons - ignorance or inattention. For the first, briefly: Windows can be x64 and x32 (can be designated as x86).

Finding out the parameter is simple:

• Right-click on the shortcut "My (this) computer" and select properties;
• In the system data, there is also a column about the bit depth:

Determine which Windows is installed 32 or 64 bits

Once you are, go to and download the driver for your operating system.

Other options

If everything described above did not help, perhaps:

• There was an attempt to manually overclock the processor. All parameters will have to be returned to the original;
• The user did not download the driver - Windows itself tried to update, there was a failure. You need to try to download and install the software yourself according to the instructions above;
• The computer is infected with viruses -.

These tips will help most users. If unsuccessful, you can contact Intel technical support.

Situations with the impossibility of installing a driver on a video card are very common. Such problems always require an immediate solution, because without a driver, instead of a video card, we just have a few very expensive hardware.

There are many reasons why the software refuses to install. Let's analyze the main ones.

NVIDIA

Green software, for all its ease of use (“install and use”), can be quite sensitive to various system factors, such as bugs, software conflicts, incorrect installation or uninstallation of previous editions or additional software.

AMD

The main problem when installing drivers from "red" is the presence of an old software... It is for this reason that AMD software may refuse to be installed on the system. The solution is simple: before installing the new software, you need to completely remove the old one. The easiest way to do this is with official program AMD Clean Uninstall.

note that this action will completely remove AMD components from the system, that is, not only the display program, but also other software. If you are using a platform from Intel, then the method suits you. If your system is based on AMD, then it is better to use another program called Display Driver Uninstaller. You can read how to use this software in this article.

Intel

Problems with installing drivers on integrated graphics from Intel are quite rare and are mostly complex in nature, that is, they are the result of incorrect installation of other software, in particular, for the chipset. This is most common during software updates on laptops, which we will discuss below.

Laptops

In this section, we will talk about the procedure for installing drivers on a laptop, since this is where the "root of evil" lies. The main mistake in solving problems with the software of the laptops is "sorting", that is, attempts to install different software, if "it did not work." Such advice can be obtained on some forums: “did you put this one?”, “Try this one again”. The result of such actions in most cases is the loss of time and blue screen of death.

Let's analyze a special case with the Lenovo laptop on which it is installed AMD graphics card and integrated Intel graphics.

As mentioned above, it is necessary to follow the sequence of software installation.

1. First of all, we install the driver for the motherboard chipset (chipset).
2. Then we install the Intel integrated graphics software.
3. The last driver to install is the discrete graphics card driver.

So let's get started.

1. Go to the official Lenovo website, find the link "Drivers" on the menu "Support and Warranty".

   

2. On the next page, enter the model of our laptop and click ENTER.

   

3. Next, you need to follow the link "Drivers and Software".

   

4. Scroll down the page and find the block with the name "Chipset"... Open the list and find the driver for our operating system.

   

5. Click on the eye icon opposite the software name, and then click on the link "Download".

   

6. In the same way, we download the software for the integrated Intel video core. It is located in the block "Display and video cards".

   

7. Now we install in turn the driver for the chipset, and then for the integrated graphics core. After each installation, a reboot is mandatory.
8. The final step is to install the software for the discrete graphics card. Here you can already use the software downloaded manually from the official AMD or NVIDIA website.

Windows 10

The desire of Microsoft developers to automate everything and everyone often leads to some inconvenience. For example, the top ten provides for updating video card drivers through the standard center Windows updates... Attempts to install the software manually can lead to errors, up to the inability to install. Since a driver is a set of system files, the OS thus "protects" us from software that is wrong from its point of view.

There is only one way out: manually check for updates and install the driver.

As you can see, there is nothing wrong with installing drivers, the main thing is to follow simple rules and systematize actions.

Drivers for Intel components are sometimes very difficult to find. However, you can make this process easier for yourself and automatically identify Intel components - download drivers and install them on your computer. Check out our instructions.

Often many users have problems when operating system cannot recognize this or that device. When you enter the device manager, it turns out that one or more " unknown devices"Marked exclamation mark in a yellow triangle.
In some situations, errors appear when installing the software Nvidia graphics cards when the installer prompts you to proceed Nvidia installation not possible, you need to install the Intel drivers first. What can be done to solve this problem?

But now, if the computer is installed motherboard Intel or other components of this brand are used, you can easily solve this problem by using special program Intel.

The Intel Driver Update Utility will first scan your computer, detect components from this company, and automatically download and install any missing or outdated drivers. Not only does it provide fast access To latest versions Intel drivers, it is in many cases able to recognize components marked as "Unknown Device".

How to recognize components via Intel Driver Update Utility

Intel Driver Update Utility simplifies the entire process of recognition, installation and update. It is able to recognize the drivers of the following Intel components:

• Video cards (for example, integrated graphics Intel processors i5 and i7);
• Sound cards (integrated on motherboards);
• Wi-Fi network cards;
• Ethernet network cards;
• Chipsets;
• Intel motherboards;
• Intel NUC (Intel mini computers);
• Intel Compute Stick (microcomputer flash drive).

If any component from the above list is installed on the PC, Intel Driver Update Utility will recognize it automatically. In addition, if you are using miniature computers Intel NUC or Intel Compute Stick, then the program will load all the necessary drivers for the system to work correctly.

The utility is quite simple to use. After its launch, a window will appear through which you can search for missing or new driver versions. First, click on the Start scan button and wait until they are displayed in the "Available drivers for your product" section.

Before uploading, you can create separate folder for their storage. First click on the icon in the Download Directory field and specify the folder where you will download the files. To download, click on Download.

Once downloaded, you can install them directly from Intel programs Driver Update Utility or do it manually by running each installer from the specified folder.

The application allows not only to automatically recognize devices. It can be used to download any other drivers for Intel devices. To do this, first use the “Search manually” option to find the appropriate driver and select suitable option... Thanks to it, it becomes possible to download drivers from another computer.

Alternative installation method

The first thing to do after reinstalling the system is to install all the drivers for the computer to work properly. This process is quite lengthy and time-consuming, but it can be accelerated, and for this, first create a backup copy of the current drivers before reinstalling the system. Then, without much hassle, you can put them on a "clean" system.

To create a copy, we use the application Free Driver Backup, which allows you to quickly execute backup selected (or all) drivers.

Creating a backup via Free Driver Backup

The application will automatically scan your computer for all drivers and display them in a simple list. In front of each, its name will be highlighted, as well as the recommended action on the Action tab. By default, only Recommended are displayed. To display everything, you need to go to the Scan Driver menu and select the Scan all drivers item.

To start copying, first select those items in the list that you want to save, or all (Select all), and then click on the Backup button. Unfortunately, the application does not offer to select a folder to save, so after creating it you can find it in the directory with the program.

The tool also allows you to make other data archives - browser history, separate pages from Internet Explorera, and also - very importantly - system registry... All of these options can be found in the Plugins tab.

After reinstalling or "clean" installation of the system, drivers can be restored using Device Manager. First click right click mouse on Start and select Device Manager.

The manager window displays a list of all components of the PC. If, for example, you need to recognize network card(it can be found by name in the section Network adapters), right-click on it and select "Update Driver".

Then select in the window that opens "Search and install drivers manually", then specify the path to the folder in which backup copy(by default, the BackUp folder in the directory Free programs Driver Backup).

Conclusion

Making a backup is a very convenient solution and will save you a lot of time searching. If you are installing a new driver and want to protect yourself from problems by returning to previous version then make a backup first. It is also very useful option when old components are installed on the PC, for which drivers cannot be found on the official sites.

Due to the fact that the backup copy is saved in the directory with the program, we recommend Free installation Driver Backup is not carried out in the system partition. Thus, you will save it from accidental formatting when reinstalling the system. Better yet, copy it to another local disk or to a USB flash drive.
