Understanding the Intel® Graphics Driver Version Number
100 & Newer Drivers
The Intel® Graphics Driver version schema used in Download Center will change with the Windows® 10 April 2018 Update release to provide better scaling and support for our driver build process, and at the same time match the drivers naming convention used in Windows*.
To determine if you have the latest drivers installed, always compare the last four digits (build number) of the driver installed on your computer with the last four digits of the latest driver available for download.
The following tables should provide more details on each of the identifiers that make the current driver schema:
Identifier | Operating System (WDDM version) |
27 | Windows® 10 May 2020 Update - WDDM 2.7 |
26 | Windows® 10 May 2019 Update - WDDM 2.6 |
25 | Windows® 10 October 2018 Update - WDDM 2.5 |

15.65 & Older Drivers
Download Center also hosts graphics drivers that use a naming schema to define driver versions that may not match 1-to-1 the operating system's own driver convention as detailed in the previous tables. This schema is as follows:
Driver Baseline: Differentiates different generic driver packages and is often assigned based on the supported platforms and operating systems.
Release Revision: Used internally during the driver development cycle.
Build number: Last four digits indicate the actual driver number.
The table below provides details on platform and operating system compatiblity for these drivers.
Driver Baseline | Platform compatibility | Operating System 32-bit support | Operating System 64-bit support |
15.65 15.60 | 8th Generation processors | N/A | Windows 10 |
7th Generation processors | |||
6th Generation processors | |||
Apollo Lake platform | |||
