Hello,

The difference between the driver you found (8.15.10.1883) and the one offered by Lenovo (8.15.10.2302) is simply that Lenovo's one is newer.

The driver version 8.15.10.1883 is the latest we posted in the download center for Intel® Desktop Board DG41BI, Intel® Desktop Board DG41CN, and Intel® Desktop Board DG41WV.

OEM computer manufacturers usually release newer driver versions for their products and this is one of those cases.

Bear in mind that using drivers from the Intel download center in branded computers not necessarily work and it is always recommended to use the ones provided by the computer manufacturer.
