Install NVIDIA Driver without installing Intel driver first (Intel Driver not compatible with windows 7)

[NNes]

Hi,

I have a new laptop which has an Intel i5-7200u processor (which means his GPU is the Intel HD 620) and an NVIDIA Geforce 940mx. my problem is that I have to use windows 7 (company rule) and when i try to install nvidia driver it asks me to install intel driver first and this GPU Intel HD 620 does not have a driver compatible with Windows 7 so im not able to install it on windows 7 hence im not able to install Nvidia driver do you have any solution in mind please help.

Is there a way to install nvidia driver without installing intel driver ? or is it possible to use the driver dedicated for windows 10 in windows 7 (knowing that when i try to install it an error message pops up "this system does not have the minimum requirement ") ?

P.S: I tried to disactivate my VGA card throught bios but my bios doesn't give me the hand to do it.

I assume you tried to install GeForce driver with its setup.exe?

Try manual installation via device manager instead.

Just checked the new Intel driver v4542:

It supports Kabylake only under Windows 10 as you can see in its igdlh64.inf

Hello:

Thank you very much to Stefan3D for the information posted previously. To Nes653: On the following link you will find the instructions of how to install the graphics driver manually: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005474.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005474.html And here is the driver version 4542: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005474.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005474.html Any questions, please let me know.

Nes653,

I had the same problem with a new Kaby Lake laptop I put Windows 7 on with Intel i7-7500u, HD 620 and AMD R7 M445. The Intel drivers would not install because of the reason you stated above. I am not happy about the forced Windows 10 migration and I refuse to believe that all this new hardware will not "support" Windows 7.

I added this "hardware id" line to the Windows 7 section in the igdlh64.inf file.

%iKBLULTGT2%= iKBLD_w10, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5916

Then I used the Update Driver button in Device Manger following the directions Alberto linked to. I rebooted once and both cards were good in Device Manager. After running AMD control panel I was prompted to reboot again. I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Jason

To Nes653: I just wanted to check if you were able to install the 4542 driver manually or if the problem still persists? Any questions, please let me know. Alberto

Hi Jason,

I have been facing this issue for two days. I solved this with your reply. I have a HP 450 G4 laptop, i7 7500 and intel graphics hd 620. I have to use this with windows 7 only. after searching this on google I found this post.

I edited igdlh64.inf file with "%iKBLULTGT2%= iKBLD_w10, PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5916" and then re-install the driver and solved perfectly.

Thank you very much you save my day

Hello,

I have the Acer Aspire E5-774G with Intel i5-7200U Kaby Lake and Geforce 940MX. I have done the same like ounurpazar, but it won't install it manuelly over the Device Manager by changing the Standard VGA-Adapter and choosing the inf or the whole Intel driver folder.

By Choosing the Inf in the device manager it says, that the Ressourceload-program can't find the MUI-file. What should i do?

Thank you for response.

Hello:

In this case, I just wanted to let you know that Intel provides generic versions of drivers for general purposes and in order to try to fix possible graphics problems. These drivers might or might not work with your system since they are generic. So, if you tried to install the drivers and they are not working maybe a different driver is needed, the best thing to do is to install the drivers provided by the manufacturer in this case Acer, and also to it will be a good option to get in contact with them to check if that is the proper driver for your system and for further technical or warranty assistance.
