Integrated Intel GPU Drivers

Haswell era Intel processors have no integrated GPU drivers for Vista, and as far as I know, there's no way to get the XP or 7 drivers working properly. However, since you have a Haswell based laptop with Vista, you might be able to help me with a post I'm making. Let me know if you're interested. ...

Somewhere in control panel, I guess. It's not that bad, it's similar to 7. It can't be disabled in Windows Vista. There are keys in the registry, but those either enable it or completely disable it. And the UAC prompts are much more prominent in Vista than in 7 and later. They pop up when you want ...

Need help with installing Windows XP from a USB using Ventoy

Windows XP hates installing from USB, you're best off getting a USB CD-ROM drive and installing it from CD-ROM. That's how I install XP. Not in my case.

Maybe? The CPU is from 2017, but uses a older architecture. I'll need to do some more research later.
Cool! Let me know what you dig up. I'm gonna do some research myself and see what I can find.
