Integrated Intel GPU Drivers

Hello!
I have recently installed a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium on an old laptop, for nostalgic reasons.
Everything installed just fine, and using Snappy Driver Installer I was able to get almost all the needed drivers up and running.
However, I cannot seem to get the Intel HD Graphics Family drivers for the integrated GPU to work.
The driver appears in the device manager as installed, but with the error:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
I've tried using drivers from both Intel's and HP's site, but all of them will either refuse to install or error out.
The laptop was from around late 2015, and came preinstalled with win10, for reference.
Laptop Specs:
HP 15 Notebook PC (Late 2015-ish)
Windows Vista Home Premium v6.0 (No SPs installed)
Intel Core i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz, 2401 Mhz, 2 Cores, 4 Logical Processors
4.64 GB Memory
BIOS Version Insyde F.31
Any advice would be appreciated!

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.

You can get the Windows XP drivers working. In the XP driver, there will be a field marked like this:
---------------
NT.amd.6.0
---------------
; no install on Vista/7
Copy and paste the driver ID's from the XP section into this field and replacing the ; no install on Vista/7 message. You may need to add in your Haswell driver ID if it's not listed. Afterwards, install using the Have Disk method and it should work. There will be hardware acceleration, but no Aero as Windows XP doesn't support it. There may be a way to force it on, but attempts to do so have failed thus far. Your best bet is to wait for the Extended Kernel update that adds driver support to Vista using 7+ drivers. This will allow you to use Haswell up to Skylake with Vista. Kaby Lake and Kaby Lake Refresh (the 8th generation) might work, but since those require an INF mod to work on 7, they may not.

It didn't work like that for me, but I guess it's a why not try it on a different CPU type thing.

Ah. Some people have reported this not working. I think it depends on the Haswell chip that you have. I think they said later Haswell is a bit more difficult to work. Still don't get why Intel only released graphics drivers for XP on Haswell. I don't think they had any XP chipset drivers for Haswell, just graphics, and you may have trouble finding drivers for the other hardware, although if they use hardware that had also been bundled with Ivy Bridge (which has official XP support), then you will have everything except for Chipset drivers.

Here is the driver
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22875/Intel-HD-Graphics-driver-for-Windows-XP32-Embedded It's in zip form, which will allow for easy INF mod if needed.

How do I determine my Haswell driver ID, and where do I check to see if it is listed?

Like this, but with the Haswell IGPU.

Alright, so after modifying the XP 32bit drivers, the machine would not even let me install them.
I was able to install modified XP 64bit drivers, but I get the same error message (Code 39) after install & reboot.
I think I might just try to install XP on this machine at this point lol.

2nd solution< (more expensive) is to either upgrade you iGPU or get an actual GPU.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the idea behind this was having a bit of old windows fun without costing me anything other than my time lol.
