My computer hasn't been that great the last few years. Debated updating my Intel graphics driver to see if that helped some. The only problem, if you click "Update Driver" says you got the best installed already.

 

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530


Current driver installed

Provider: Intel Corporation
Date: 10/17/2017
Version: 22.20.16.4836

 

The only driver I found online is this.

Intel Graphics- Windows 10 DCH Drivers
Date: 6/26/2020
Version: 27.20.100.8336


Says it's compatible with the 530 Graphics ,but got me worried with not being able to go back once installed. Is this driver compatible and should I install them?

Hi:

 

If your notebook only has the onboard Intel 530 graphics, see my knowledge base article at the link below for how to manually update the graphics driver to the latest version.

If your notebook has dual graphics, do not update the Intel graphics driver.

Yeah, got dual graphics. Intel 530 and GTX 950M. My driver for GTX 950M is up to date.

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, it wouldn't be a good idea to update it.

 

You can see the comments below my post where one person said the update worked fine, but then the switchable graphics didn't work.

 

Probably not a good tradeoff.
