HP Recommended
HP Pavilion 15-AB292NR
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just an FYI for anyone owning the HP Pavilion 15-AB292NR  ("Flagship") 15" notebook (Windows 10 Home x64):

 

 

I've found that the older intel (HP) 10.18.15.4279 drivers from September, 2015 are *much* faster than the latest intel (HP) 20.19.15.4360  drivers.

 

As in:  60% faster, both in real world gaming FPS and in synthetic benchmarks.

 

Passmark 3D score:  newest drivers: 731    Older driver:  1164  (higher numbers are better)

 

HP Download link here for the fast 10.18.15.4279 driver:

Make sure to select the 10.18.15.4279 (Windows 10 x64) download button.

Good luck!
