Generally Windows 8 has a inbuilt video drivers , lets say intel latest version drives. If you try to update , it prompts drivers are up-to-date..And one of the disadvantages with latest version are some of the apps and game throw an error message related to graphics drive.
If we face any thing similar to that , our first step will be updating to the latest version...! But what with windows 8 , it already installed with latest version even though the problem could not be solved.
When we couldn't solve using the latest version , then the old version could do the trick ,... right ? But have you ever tried to get any older version of intel video drives from intel website., we couldn't because microsoft have the latest version and also intel old version drives are not supported by windows 8.
So here is a little trick to install windows 7 video drives to windows 8 using test mode.
