I have a Core i5-6500 cpu. I sold my graphics card few days ago and now I don't have any graphics driver for the Intel HD 530. Though my pc runs fine without the Intel's Graphics Driver for the HD 530 IGPU.
However, I went to the Intel's official website and tried to download the compatible Internal GPU driver for my Windows 10 64 bit. The website is really really slow and won't even download at all! My net connection is about 8 mbps but the download speed of Intel's website is a horror story.

First thing is : My PC is running fine, I don;t feel the need of an Intel Driver for the HD 530.
Second thing: DO I really need the driver?
Thirdly: If I need where can I download it from except on Intel's website.

Thank you.

To answer #1 and #2: Technically speaking, no you do not need it, that is unless you plan on doing anything 3D related, because if you don't those applications will simply not work or give you all sorts of errors.

To answer #3: Have you tried your motherboard manufacturers website? Granted the driver will be way out of date compared to what's on Intel's website, but still an outdated driver is better than no driver at all.

Solution
If your able to get the correct display resolution on your monitor already, then the Intel APU is already using a compatible GPU driver, most likely installed automatically by Windows 10 Setup or via Microsoft's automatic updates. That's the usual way the graphics driver is installed for an APU, whether it's an Intel or an AMD one.

No need to be concerned about display driver if all looks fine on monitor.
