In the Intel website and in Wikipedia (as you pointed out), it supports DirectX 10.1 in hardware (I am fine with that if that's really true). Please allow me to clear things up a bit. I apologize if my initial post was a bit confusing.
Thank you, bobkn, for your answer and for taking the time. And for the even more curious, the non-remastered version of Red Alert (and Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour) is installed on it and works just fine - just without the HD graphics. If not here, maybe someone can point me to people who can.įor the curious, the game is Command & Conquer Remastered Collection - the one just released 2 days ago. I came here in hopes that a similar group would have built something for Windows 10 - an Intel HD 3000 driver that runs on Windows 10 with all its features activated and DirectX 11 supported. Intel took a while to release an official Windows 8 driver so the community made their own when Windows 8 was released. In eightforums, a website similar to this, a group of guys were able to create a modified/custom HD 3000 driver for Windows 8/8.1 that was designed for Windows 7. Intel HD 3000 is even capable of OpenGL 3.3 among other things - and that is cool. I got this information from a developer who makes console game emulators on PC. After some research, I found out that Intel HD 3000 is capable of running DirectX 11 but Intel just didn't want to (for some reason). Guess what? The game actually starts but doesn't work as expected (plenty of graphical artifacts and laggy music and sound) and crashes around 10-15 minutes while playing so, maybe, it really requires DirectX 11 to run smoothly. A game I want to play on it requires DirectX 11. The problem is that Windows 10 is DirectX 12, Intel HD 3000 officially supports up to DirectX 10.1. It can even double-display if I attach a second monitor or a projector. Technically, it is running on a Microsoft Driver for HD 3000. Recently, it updated to the latest build - 18363.836.Īnyway, after scouring the Internet (Microsoft and Intel websites specifically), I realized that Intel stopped supporting 2nd Generation graphics and Windows 10 DOES NOT OFFICIALLY support HD 3000 also known as Sandy Bridge. Windows 10 Pro 圆4 installed on it from Windows 7 Ultimate 圆4 without any issues - even auto-activated itself and installed all its drivers on its own. But it has a little problem - it's 2nd Gen - Intel HD 3000 Graphics. It's a loaded business laptop and I love it. I filled all of this out during registration but I will summarize it anyway for your convenience. Forgive me if I need to cut to the chase.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this community.
