    How to Install Old Drivers in Windows 10

    You can use the old method (since back in Windows 3.1, I think)...Extract the drivers somewhere (7zip usually works to extract them, sometimes the setup.exe will have an option to extract, sometimes you just have to watch where setup.exe extracts the drivers to). Right click the device in device manager under control panel. Update driver software, browse my computer, let me pick from a list, have disk. Point it to the .inf file for the driver in the extracted driver package, select the hardware from the list, making sure to get the manufacturer's driver and not the Microsoft driver.

    Hi shami,

    Unfortunately, only XPDM Windows graphics drivers exist for that particular hardware. Windows 7 and Windows Vista can support this legacy graphics driver mode, though it comes with penalties.

    Since Windows 8, only WDDM graphics drivers are supported.

    There is no way that I know of the force the old graphics drivers to work, as the kernel features required for the driver to function do not exist in Windows 10.

    Looks like it's time to pop in an add-on PCI/PCIe graphics card :-(.

    You could try these drivers I found via google on some shady looking website.

    caveat utilitor

    Link 64
    Link 32

  10. BOTH of those links come back with 403-forbidden error codes.

    And ... actually, MS removed support for XPDM drivers starting with Win8 -- which is when I noticed my old tablet with the Intel 915 drivers wouldn't install the Intel video drivers anymore.
