Core 2 duo t6600 graphic driver update on windows 10

0

I am having so problems updating the drivers on my friends old laptop that has a core 2 duo t6600 which he updated to windows 10 and no longer has any drivers for windows 10 so i tried installing the latest version but it said that the computer did not meet the requirements. Sorry if this is a simple question I don't normally work on older computers.

Your CPU does not have a GPU built in. To properly answer the question, additional information is required. – Daniel B – 2016-11-15T10:01:38.363

@DanielB - I should have known not to submit my comment without looking up the CPU in question first. – Ramhound – 2016-11-15T15:06:20.193

As stated in the comment, that model is not officially supported by windows 10, but that does not mean it is not compatible. Theres is a trick available that can get the driver installed.

Get the 64-bit version or the 32-bit cab packed driver from windows update dig-site.

  • Extract the Drivers using WinRAR/7Z

  • Go to Device Manger

  • Go to Display Adapters and expand it.

  • Right Click on that and finally hit on Update Driver Software

  • Install Driver Software Manually

  • Browse for the driver software

  • Go to the location of previously extracted drivers folder

  • Click Next for successfully installation of Drivers.

Note: if you receive the error "The best driver software for your device is already installed" you will have to do some additional steps:

  • Uninstall the drivers by right click --> uninstall
  • After that Windows 10 will black Screen
  • Do a forced power off by holding the power button until power-off
  • Power back on and go to Device Manger
  • From Device Manager find the Display Adapters and expand it.
  • You will see Microsoft basic video drivers. Updated those according to the initial steps.
