Intel HD 530 onboard accidentally deleted

[DReed1]

Hi guys! After speaking with a Dell tech support guy, he assured me that the best graphics card for my computer (Dell Inspiron 3650) would be the Radeon HD 5450. He was terrribly wrong, This card is terrible. During the installation, I deleted (instead of disabling) the on board HD 530 graphics. I have been through many pages of Dell and Intel websites trying to find out how to reinstall it. I have tried downloading many different drivers. Most of them come up to saying "Your computer does not meet the minimum requirements." How is that possible? How can I get my graphics back on board?

Restore from a system restore point as described at:

I restored to a point before it was deleted. Did not return. Now, all I have is the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Try drivers from this list https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530 Downloads for Intel® HD Graphics 530

Select OS from right pulldown menu.

If you encounter an error message about validation, then install driver via "have disk method" as described at:

(ignore prolog about MS surface)

That is not working because I do not have the HD 530 on my computer any more. If you look at Step 4 of the link you added, I cannot do that. There is nothing to click on under Display Adapters.

Thank Stefan. Got it to work. Some reason, took uninstalling my printer's drivers, restarting my computer, and then smashing the Radeon against the ground. All is good now. Thank you for the help!
