Intel GMA 4500 driver for Windows 10

Solution 1:

After a lot of digging around the internet I managed to find a custom driver that worked for me:

To install I had to first disable Microsoft signature checking:

  1. Run command prompt as administrator and type the following 2 commands:

    bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
    
  2. Restart computer

  3. Download the driver from the link above & install it
  4. Re-enable signature checking:

    bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
    bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
    

It worked, now it's 2018 and I have OpenGL 2.1, hooray...

Solution 2:

As of 2019, an improved custom driver is available from nIGHTmAYOR. It is working a treat on my Thinkpad X200S.

Here is a copy of the driver on Google Drive:

Kudos to nIGHTmAYOR for putting so much effort into this!
