1 - Make sure you have System Restore enabled before installation for safety
2 - Also it is recommended to have the latest mother board Bios installed
3 - No there are no expected crashes or hassles but if any occur do note
you may need to consult forums on fixing Windows corruption than rather
thinking the driver is corrupted
4 - Run the steps according to their exact numbers
5 - Always use run as Administrator to Run a step
6 - Starting step 2 the PC will restart so make sure you save all your work
7 - Folder : Extra Tweaks hold additional performance tweaks that are useless
8 - 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
9 - 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
10- 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
11- When all steps are done make sure to enable Intel Control Panel through :
Right Clicking Desktop > Graphics Property or alternative translation
12- Enabling Tray Icon is accessible through :
Right Clicking Desktop > Graphics Options or alternative translation
13- If you can't find Graphics Properties / Options do re-install the driver
14- It is better to make sure Intel Control Panel is set to the following :
3D > 3D Preferences > Performance
Power > Plugged In > Maximum Performance
15- That's it , you are done , dismissed
16- This driver was tested on Windows 10 20H2 if a future release breaks it
then do not nag for fix as you might hardly praise me if it works

* May Require You Disable Windows Automatic Driver Update First
****If you are into reading and history blahs read this :****
This is a decent port of the Intel(R) HD Graphics 2000 / Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Driver for Windows 10 64 bit, while backward compatible with most other
platforms (Except for XP) I have not tested it but on Windows 10 .
There are no plans to do follow ups nor fixes (nothing needs to be fixed
really) as this is the final squeeze of the lemon to the driver that fixes
all other glitches found in previous ports / accelerated version attempted
for Windows 10 .
I am not a wizard , if you do not have 8 GBs of RAM you will still suffer
accelerated the driver is or not .
It does run well on 4 GBs of RAM but then do not ask much from it other
than running basic games and normal tasks .
There is no 32 bit version as in this era staying with an OS that can only handle 3 GB
of RAM while the GPU itself require 1.759 GBs of shared memory meaning any attempt
to use such platform is a joke .
You might think but isn't using a graphics chip from 2012 a joke?!
Surprising this driver is capable of running most store games at 45 fps average ,
this isn't magic but apparently most of these games are optimized for tablet
performance and tablets seem to not be very resourceful making their performance
seeming equivalent to an integrated graphics chip .
This release fix the following :
1 - OpenGL errors / games will not start because of OpenGL
2 - Windows crashing on resuming from Hibernation or Sleep
3 - Crashing SearchUI.exe when Cortana is Enabled
4 - Inclusion of Intel Turbo Booster & Display Audio
5 - Mild Over-Clocking
6 - Input Lag
7 - Registry Optimization for Gaming
8 - Absence of Power Options support
P.S This a non-intentional bi-product of a work in progress combo driver I am working on (Intel & ATI) that has proven to be successful so I decided to release it to the public . It offers a Windows 10 64bit compatibility to an EOL Intel Graphics Processer plus additional acceleration tweaks I bundled with previous drivers I released for other Intel GPUs .
