[Marur]

Hello,

I am looking for graphic drivers for notebook HP 250 G6 with OS Win 8.1. I would appriciate f any1 could help me as all i could find was drivers for win 7 and Win 10 but none for win 8.1. From what i managed to figure out inside there is integrated graphic card Intel HD graphic 520.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi, Marcin:

You should be able to use the W8.1 graphics driver directly from Intel...

Hello Paul,

I did try these drivers before I posted. When I tried to instal them i got message:

"This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for instaling the software" 😞

Info what integrated graphic I have I got directly form HP so it should be solid info. About Win 8.1 64bit im also sure (and despite that I tried 32bit drivers anyway 😉 )

I kind of run out of ideas what i can do.

Hi:

See if you can manually install the driver as follows, to get past that notification.

Download and save the W8.1 Zip file version from the above intel driver link, and unzip it to its folder.

That would be the 2nd file down on the left side of the page.

Once that is done, go to the device manager.  Click to expand the graphics adapters device manager category.

Click on the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter listed there.

Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Click on Have Disk and browse to the unzipped graphics driver folder>Graphics>igdlh64 (setup information file), click Next, and hopefully, the driver will install.

Restart the PC after the installation has completed.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your willing to help.

I did try instal manually as you suggested. Unfortunately it didnt work out 😞 I attached message that I recived.

Sorry that didn't work either.

I guess your only option then, will be to install W10.

If your notebook came with FreeDOS and W8.1 was the only operating system you had available, you may still be able to get the free upgrade from W8.1 to W10...

See this link below...

If you want to try to get the free upgrade, click on the blue Update Now button at the link below.

You have 30 days to go back to W8.1 as long as you don't delete any files.

Here's how to do that if you need to...

Thats a very disturbing info. I was afraid that in the end w10 will be the only option, but really watned to avoid that.

Thank you very much for your replies.

Wish you all the best.

All the best to you too!
