* 2 Graphics Driver Smart Installer Enhancement allows end-users to upgrade systems with OEM DCH drivers to newer
Intel generic DCH drivers. OEM customizations are preserved during this upgrade process, in accordance with Microsoft*
DCH driver design principles (refer to Microsoft documentation, “Extension INF Publishing Whitepaper” to learn more).
The installer will continue to restrict OEM non-DCH to Intel Generic non-DCH upgrades as well as OEM non-DCH to Intel
Generic DCH driver upgrades. End-users will continue to be referred to OEM websites.
WARNING: Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your Computer Manufacturer (OEM) customized
driver. OEM drivers are handpicked, customized, and validated to resolve platform-specific issues, enable features and
enhancements, and improve system stability. The generic driver’s intention is to temporarily test new features, game
enhancements, or check if an issue is resolved. Once testing is complete Intel advises reinstalling the OEM driver until
they validate it and release their own version.
Any graphics issues found using Intel generic graphics drivers should be reported directly to Intel. Corporate customers
should always use OEM drivers and report all issues through the vendor they purchased the platforms and support
through.
