Help Updating Intel HD 3000 Graphics

[ZB]

I am trying to update my Intel HD 3000 graphics to a recent version. I have a HP Pavilion DV6 Quad Custom edition laptop which has switchable graphics, Intel Core i7 2630QM CPU and graphic property are below.

when trying to install this driver

I just get a error saying that it is not compatable. Are there any other drivers for the 3000?

Hello, ThePie:

The recommendation for OEM systems for driver download is to do this in the manufacturer's website directly.

This is to avoid loosing any special features or settings in your device.

As per the model provided and HP support page, the drivers for Windows 10* are going to be available through Windows updates.

The problem with that is HP doesn't provide updates for their devices after the device is 1 year old. My device is around 4 years old but I keep it running great. The issue is that the drivers are getting outdated and as new software is coming along the graphics are falling behind. I just want a normal Intel HD 3000 driver, I already stopped using HP's driver for the Radeon 6770M because it was the switchable graphics driver which wouldn't work with Windows 10 as it is.

Just looking for a normal Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 driver.

Hello, ThePie:

I understand that you would like to continue using your device updated; in this case, as far as we know, the drivers available for Windows 10* while using HD Graphics 3000 would be installed through Windows updates.

Also, I would like you to check this OS support chart for Intel® Graphics engines.

It appears that my Sandy Bridge will for ever be stuck in the sand when it comes to Windows 10.

Hello, ThePie:

I understand your situation, since this is a legacy product, there are limitations regarding driver support for newer OS released.

I regret to be the guy with the bad news.
