How to update Intel graphics card driver?

There are different methods for you to update your graphics card, here in this post, we will be focusing on mainly three approaches.

Method One: Windows Update

1. Go to Device Manager .

2. Expand the optionDisplay adapters and locate the graphics device you have. I’m using Intel (R) HD Graphics 4400 as an example.

Right clickIntel (R) HD Graphics 4400 and chooseProperties .

3. InDriver tab, choose the option Update Driver…

4. Then chooseSearch automatically for updated driver software .

5. Wait for a couple of seconds for the latest driver Windows update could find to install for you.

6. Restart your computer when prompted.

This method can be used to update some of the most basic device drivers in your computer, since there could be a big chance that Windows Update can’t find the latest driver for your device. But it worth a shot as the first step.

Note : Before you use Device Manager to update your Intel graphics driver, it is required that you have downloaded the right driver from Intel website. You could check to see how to do it in this webpage .

1. Go to Device Manager .

2. Expand the categoryDisplay adapters. Right click and choose Update Driver Software…

3. Then choose Browse my computer for driver software.

4. Click theBrowse button on the side and look for the file that you used to store the download file of the driver.
