How to install Intel display drivers in Windows 8



Intel display drivers for older chipsets does not support the Windows 8 operating system. This guide is only for older intel chipset or onboard graphics as for them, display drivers are unavailable for Windows 8. With this, you will be able to install drivers with a small trick. Usually prebuilt Windows 8 drivers are not so good so it's best to simply install the latest one.

In this tutorial we just have to install the Windows 7 driver on Windows 8.

This applies to:

Intel Gma x4500,x3100,3500,3000 or g41,g33/31 and older 965/945/845 chipsets and also intel Gma mobile(laptop) chipsets

Firstly download your display drivers only from Intel site. Double check which version of Windows 8 you are using, either 32 bit, or 64 bit, and then download the appropriate driver designed for Windows 7.
