HHSoft Intel(R) HD Graphics Driver for 6th, 7th, and 8th Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processors on Windows 7/8/8.1 64-bit (modified driver to enable support) - Downloads Now Available!

Driver Version: 21.20.16.4860 (64-bit only).

This driver version is based on the latest version available from the Intel Download Center. Please read the "Disclaimers" and "Known Limitations" sections in this post before you download and install this driver. The download link is in the "Instructions" section.

This driver has been tested to be functional on several Dell laptops with Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 and Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 [Dell Inspiron 15 5579, Dell Inspiron 15 3567, Dell Inspiron 17 7779] running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Note that this driver may not work with all processor graphics models within the 6th/7th/8th generation Intel(R) Core(TM) processor families.

Note: This driver should also install on Windows 8 64-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit, but it has not been tested on those operating systems.

Instructions:

7-Zip needs to be installed to extract the driver files.

1. Download the driver here (choose one source): Google Drive, MEGA.nz, Microsoft OneDrive.
2. Extract the compressed archive using 7-Zip.
3. Run "igxpin.exe". Follow the installer prompts.
4. Click Continue when unsigned driver warning appears (this appears since the driver has been modified to allow installation on Windows 7).
5. Restart your computer.

Note: If installation does not work with "igxpin.exe", try running DPInst64.exe (not DPInst32.exe) to install the drivers.

Known Limitations:

1. Cannot run Windows Experience Index (WinSAT) test on Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 - test crashes. Since Windows 7 will try to run the test automatically while the computer is idle on AC power (for laptops) if it has never been run before, you should run the WinSAT test before installing the Intel graphics driver (this will result in a low score due to it being run on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter driver, but the test should not run again automatically).
2. Internet Explorer 11 crashes when loading videos on a webpage on Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620. Use Firefox or Google Chrome instead.
3. HDMI audio out should work, but using the standard Microsoft "High Definition Audio Device" driver instead (not the "Intel(R) Display Audio" driver).
4. For computers with dual graphics (integrated + discrete graphics), install the above driver first, then install the appropriate version of the suitable graphics driver for the discrete graphics.

Disclaimers:

Warning: This driver is not supported by Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, HHSoft Software or your computer manufacturer.
