Intel GMA 3600 drivers into Windows 10

I have installed manually Windows 10 Final on my EEE PC X101CH without any problem, but the used video driver is the generic one with 800x600 resolution.

Then I met the horror of the Intel GMA 3600... an old video adapter with bad drivers.

I downloaded the Intel drivers, and I discovered that they are older then the ones present somewhere into the system.

During the setup, a warning pops up, asking me if I really want to overwrite the newer drivers.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3600 series v10.0.10240.16384

Display Audio Intel v10.0.10240.16384 (I translated this from italian)

Now... the installed drivers don't work properly (ie they crash at every logon), but the logon screen seems to the right screen resolution (1024x600).

The system only offers the generic video driver (from Device Manager).

Is there any way I can install these v10 embedded drivers?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

What is the make and model of the computer?

I suggest you to download the display drivers and install them in compatibility mode. Please follow the below linlk to know how to install the drivers in compatibility mode:

I spent some time to follow any installation tips but the driver still crashes.

The tip to install it in Compatiblity Mode (CM) doesn't work in this case probably because the system uses it only during the installation process. The driver still have to run into Win10 system.

My issue doesn't seem to be related to the driver delivery.

There are 2 points that I wish to raise.

The first one is I find crazy to disable by default the boot menu from which you can trigger safe mode. By default the user can trigger it, only by logging into the system and do same specific task.

My experience is that you usually need it, when you aren't able to logon.

This is what happened in my case.

The second one is the Microsoft generic video driver. This could have been the solution to my problem if only it can be more flexible. I cannot run it into 1024x600... it only ran in 800x600.

… and this means I see everything deformed losing about 20% my little display space.

Sadly, after about 2 days of work, I decided to roll back to my Win7.

Excluding this video driver issue, it seems to run fine, but I cannot use it with the display in that condition.

my HP mini 110-4112tu

is now a little rocket with Windows 10 (32-bit)

but I had to go back to 8.1 to still be able to use an external screen/monitor

I suppose Intel who would be the one to make another driver. I hope someone does.

I tried this and it worked.  Though Windows 10 now runs quite well on the Samsung ATIV 500T; apps are a bit slow.  Also, the entire upgrade process was also quite slow.

But it works!

If you own a Atom tablet running Windows 8 and want to upgrade, then follow these steps:

  1. Use regedit and go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
  2. If the key doesn’t exist then create it  by create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name = AllowOSUpgrade
  3. If it already exists or if you just created, then set the Value to 1 ( or hexadecimal value 0x00000001).

I tried to install the old intel video driver in win10 using compatibility mode set to win8 to no avail. I am back on 8.1 again.

I did notice the CM defaulted to winXP for the driver but that seemed wrong since it works in win7 and 8.1.

Am I missing something or, a someone else wrote, are netbooks excluded from the party?
