    In new drivers 2023 there are 3 zip files vbios_g4x.zip, vbios_gm4x.zip and vbios_HD.zip. All these are new bios for embedded videocard (v.1940, v. 1936, v. 1946). My 1810t has bios v. 1800... anyone dared to flash the video bios?

    Video BIOS is embedded in the main bios image.
    I believe Intel is trying to make the OS dynamically load the new BIOS from harddisk.
    The problem is the new firmware is Insyde which makes it very difficult to dissect the vBIOS and replace it

    Yes, but I only see the 2021 drivers for Windows 7 64 bits.
