Microsoft is moving to a new Universal Drivers architecture starting with Windows® 10 October 2018 Update. This represents a shift in our Intel® Graphics Drivers.

Intel and Microsoft have worked together to make this transition as seamless as possible. As such, there shouldn't be any impact to your everyday experience.

Are there any changes or limitations on the installation of graphics Windows DCH Drivers?

Refrain from using any other installation method such as "INF/Have disk installation." Failure to do so may result in minor to catastrophic issues or system instability.

See the next question below for further details.

With the latest Intel DCH drivers, you can update an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customized driver to an Intel generic driver and retain the driver customizations for 6th generation platforms and newer. However, 5th generation platforms and older are unable to do so and may receive an error stating "Computer Manufacturer Graphics Driver Detected".
