Rebranded : Intel (R) HD Graphics Family

Q : What's this driver ?
A : This is a work in progress attempt to revive custom combo laptops done
pre the era of "Dynamic Switchable Graphics Technology" developed by AMD
to co-work with Intel , as to let these laptops still have switchable graphics on
Windows 10
Attention :
1 - This driver is aimed for a pretty specific laptops released with GPU specs :
Intel HD Graphics 2000 or 3000 with early generation switchable ATI GPU combo
If you do not possess such hardware do not even attempt to install this driver
2 - This is not a tested or guaranteed stable version what so ever it is released
under the agreement that it may crash your system , require you to reset it or may
make you lose data , it is out for Alpha and Beta testers only under no guaranty
what so ever it may work or behave well
3 - I do not own such a hardware , I am just doing this project in a blind manner to
help others

2 - Also it is recommended to have the latest mother board Bios installed
3 - Run the steps according to their exact numbers
4 - Always use run as Administrator to Run a step
5 - Starting step 2 the PC will restart so make sure you save all your work
6 - If you have already installed several other drivers and this one fail to install , a probable cause might be you need to remove previous drivers , if found to be hard try to update to Windows default first
7 - A red dialogue should pop up to inform you that you are about to install an unsigned driver where you have to click install to that , it's what we are doing here anyways
8 - Some Anti-Viruses have odd features called "Containment" or "Run Virtual" and sometimes these take control and setup the driver in a virtual machine like environment and not really install it (Example Comodo or Kaspersky) in all cases if you want to ease up your life just disable your Anti-Virus during setup , you can always scan the driver first just to make sure everything is clean and to note , this one shouldn't be hated by any Anti-Virus as it is constructed from all official files
9 - When all steps are done make sure to enable Intel Control Panel through Right Clicking Desktop > Graphics Property or alternative translation
10- Enabling Tray Icon is accessible through : Right Clicking Desktop > Graphics Options or alternative translation
11- If you can't find Graphics Properties / Options do re-install the driver
12- It is better to make sure Intel Control Panel is set to the following :
3D > 3D Preferences > Performance
3D > Vertical Sync > Applications Settings Power > Plugged In > Maximum Performance
13- That's it , you are done , dismissed
P.S
a. Consider this driver a beta until someone reports back it gave him no problems
b. I do not take personal demands (Like for example do not even bother ask for 32 bit
version)
