To update Intel drivers, you can download the new driver not only from Intel, but also from your computer manufacturer. Intel provides generic versions of drivers for general use. And the computer manufacturer modifies and adjusts the generic Intel drivers to make the hardware work optimally.
It is generally recommended that you download the driver from your computer manufacturer first. If you install the Intel driver, your computer may block the installation and you may get errors like this.
Preparing to Install the Driver
Before you start installing new drivers, you need to prepare your system :
- Go to “Folder Options”, open the “View” tab and uncheck “Hide extensions of known file types”. This will make it easier to find the right files in the drivers you will download soon.
- Close the requests you don’t need.
- If you have important enough data, make a backup.
- Driver updates never cause data loss, but a backup is never bad.
- Open the link on the Intel website where you can get your .exe installer.
