If the computer is running fine and the core Intel GMA functions are there then IMHO leaving it using the recommended Win 10 drivers is the most reliable option. So if your old computer is running OK but failing IPDT then you probably have a couple of options. The IPDT is probably only compatible with vendor-issued (like Intel) Win 10 drivers OR 'modern' Win 10 default install drivers.
Sounds good, but whether there is a downside for other applications I simply don't know. Which is a lot for the old girl - but more importantly it shows that there is graphics performance available that wasn't being accessed by the default Win 10 install. Not only do all of the IPDT tests run (and pass) but the HP driver has significantly improved the FPS of the only game on the laptop - Minecraft - by about 30%. Win 10 warned me I'm installing older drivers - but I did it anyway. So I went back to my googling and tracked down a bunch of old Win 8 64-bit drivers for the laptop and installed one. However I recalled that the particle test should render something onto the screen, instead I was just getting black then fail.Īll the above suggested to me driver - however the HP Diagnostic Tool ALSO says that HP has no available updates or software for the laptop.īut availability only applies to SUPPORTED software and drivers, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Using the suggested 'old' version of IPDT (link above) made no difference. Bummer.Īs above IPDT failed at prime, floating & math tests. Now the Intel Driver & Support Tool identifies everything fine however reports that no Intel software is loaded nor is any available. Not bad for a 2010 laptop designed for Win 7! In fact it performs better than my lads modern 'school-issued' laptop (Acer P645) with regards to graphics performance.
Note system works really well on Win 10 with an SSD & 8GB RAM - required updates not optional IMHO. Intel® Core™ i5 CPU M 580 2.67GHz and Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD v.8. Old thread (and hardware just getting older!) but this question was recently relevant to me with an old HP 2540p laptop upgraded to Win 10.
