I have just upgraded my processor from an intel i3 processor to an intel i7 and was wondering if i needed to update any drivers to get the most out of my intagrated graphics card. The graphic don't seem to have improved much.

Since the Integrated graphics is in the processor, the best thing to do is run HP and Windows Updates to assure that the driver is up to date. This is about all that you can do.
Your best option would be to install a discrete video card. This would not only improve the graphics, but would increase system performance considerably.

If you have an HP Pavilion 550-044, then your motherboard is a Pegatron Memphis2-S which (as do all mobos that I know of) has room for a graphix card to be installed in the PCI Express x16 slot (the long one). Now you just have to determine which graphix card(s) your motherboard supports.
