I recently bought a computer which already had Windows 10 installed. When I went to open Minecraft and load it, it said error and sent me a link to where it said something about my graphics driver and how I needed to update it. So it took me to a page where it said I needed to download an app to update my graphics driver (intel driver update utility) and I scanned like it said and the latest driver popped up and I tried to install but once I did the install process would almost always finish but then it would go back and said failed. I'm not sure what to do. People have said to downgrade to Windows 8.1 or 7 but I heard you can only downgrade after 30 days of upgrading but I just bought the computer and Windows 10 was already installed. Any help? Please!
Can I play Minecraft on Windows 10?
Yes
Yes we still haven't touched 10ince I tried the format. Goes against any kind of typing classes we were taught. Back in the day of no technology.
You won't be able to downgrade to windows 7 or 8 this is only for people who upgraded from windows 7 or 8
I would try installing the updated intel driver in safe mode.
Start the computer, when it has fully loaded hold down the shift key and then restart, it will start with advanced boot options where you can go to safe mode.
If that still fails you will have to check with intel's website for updated drivers that work,. Or see if the computer manufacturer has a support site with drivers that work
Your problem isn't Windows 10. It's the Intel graphics card. These things are terrible, and the drivers are the worst.
It seems that your PC isn't up to running Minecraft. It's missing one or more features needed to run the game. Downgrading your OS will not change the fact that the hardware can't play the game.
Window 10 can handle Minecraft, so its likely that your issue does lie in your graphics card. Unfortunately, I can't help you fix that remotely, so there isn't much more I can do for you.
