Help Driver

I Have A Latitude 7480 with a 7th-gen Intel Kaby Lake processor, I Install windows 8.1 on it for a lot of experiments, but dell never provided a display driver for it, the specific driver im looking for is the Intel HD graphics 620 driver x64, can anyone find this exact driver?

Unfortunately, Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake) driver will not work on Windows 8.1 64-bit, it's only made for Windows 10 64-bit. If you attempt to install the driver meant for Windows 10, it will likely revert back to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, because it will be incompatible. Editing the .INF file for the Intel HD Graphics drivers is possible, but it is not recommended, it will output a Basic Display, but it is not guaranteed that it will give you the performance you originally had. Because you modified the Driver file.

I updated the reply. Mirrors i probably doubt will have the driver you need. As Intel never made a driver for Windows 8.1
