    Manual Update Guide:

    1. Click "Start" then right click on "Computer" button and select
    properties.
    2. Click on the "Device Manager" selection on the left.
    3. IF UPDATING DRIVER GO TO STEP 5
    4. Double click "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" if present under
    "Other Devices". (Go To STEP 6)
    5. Select "Display adapters" then double click on the graphics controller
    shown.
    6. Click on "driver" tab and select "Update Driver".
    7. Select the following option: "Browse my computer for driver software"
    8. Select the following option: "Let me pick from a list of device drivers
    on my computer".
    9. Click on the "Have Disk..." button and then the "Browse" button.
    10. Enter the directory where you unzipped the file you downloaded, and
    then enter the "Graphics" subdirectory. Highlight "igdlh.INF" file.
    Click on the "Open" button.
    11. Click on the "OK" button and then click "Next" button. The operating
    system will install the driver.
    12. Click on the "Close" buttons and then click on the "Yes" button to

    I think i'm just going to keep updating this thread with the latest drivers that come out. Hope some people find it helpful.

    I was thinking that too however when I went to the main download page on intel, went to 'Graphics', then 'Desktop Graphics Controllers', Then 'Intel HD Graphics', it points to 8.15.10.2361 which is the same driver used for Intel HD3000 notebooks graphics if you do a search... I didnt do enough testing as i was strapped on time but it seemed to work great for me.

    Intel has been good about releasing graphics driver updates these days. :) I already gave up on trying to keep up, and just run what works. :p

    Yes, I know how to update drivers.

    When extracting, it LOOKS like it gets to 80% then says :

    The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer.

    I did do a clean image, if that matters.

    It didn't work when I simply ran the driver setup, but it worked when I followed the guide in the first post.

    I did that, but like I said ... it looked like it only extracted 80% then stopped for some reason.

    I double checked file counts with 7zip, I did extract the proper amount ... no idea why it's not installing. Following the directions, it just says I have the latest, and all I have is 8.15.10.2342

    I just did the manual install of those latest HD drivers on my x220. They overall brightness levels seem to have increased, with a "0" value looking decidedly un-dim. Not sure if I like this, as I often use my machine in very dark environments.

    Yeah, I finally got mine on too, brightness went up, and in turn, I can turn it down, and get 1-2 watts less usage :D

    The WEI is the most pointless, useless benchmark there is. I wouldn't put any stock into it to be honest.

    I ran the 1.5 hour vantage pcmark, and it was roughly the same, maybe went down 50-150 points in the graphics area.

    I installed em yesterday. I have no need to run 3dmark on this machine as its pretty pointless, but I went from 6.2 to 6.3 in the WEI for the 3D catagory, with desktop performance remaining at 5.9 vs the 2462 build previously installed. No issues or quirks to note.

    it says your system does not meet the minimum requirement to install this software. i think it's not for intel hd graphics.

    Seems to have a much higher low (0) on the Intel ones. The Lenovo 4 is about Intel 0.
