So, I have a Intel ® Pentium ® CPUT4500 @ 2.30GHz processor, I have just updated to Windows 10 on it's release date. Ever since my update, I haven't been able to play Minecraft. I have talked all about the beginning of my issue here (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-discussion/discussion/2502779-windows-10-not-allowing-me-to-play-minecraft), and only one person replied. I have downloaded multiple drivers, but each time I try to install them it tells me my computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements needed to be met to install the driver. I am honestly really concerned and tired. Can anyone help me? I really just want to play Minecraft.

It seems that you are not the only one with this problem. Researching, I have found that Compatibility Mode might be the answer.
First, find the main file that launches Minecraft and right-click on it. Click on Properties. Click on Compatibility. Under Compatibility Mode, make sure the box for "Run this program in Compatibility Mode for:" is checked and select an earlier Windows version. (Best to go with the one you had before you upgraded.)
See if that works and we'll go from there.

I tried, it did not work, Minecraft crashed again. I had Windows 7 before, and that's what I set the compatibility to, and I pressed okay.
-
Have you tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it in compatibility mode?
-
No, but I will now :yes
-
In the event that this doesn't work then it might be a graphics driver issue. In that case then you will need to make sure that you have the latest driver for your graphics card or integrated graphics. You can find your graphics card by right clicking on the Start Button, going to Control Panel, typing device manager in the search bar, going to Device Manager, and clicking on Display Adapters. From there, if you tell me which brand of graphics card that you have, I can give you further instructions on how to update its drivers.

Minecraft crashed again when I tried.
I agree it is my graphics drivers, but the thing is- I have tried installing multiple Intel drivers but they all tell me my laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements for the driver to be installed.
-
Hmmm... Which graphic adapter do you have exactly? Which model?
-
Graphic adapter? Do you mean my current driver?
-
No, the actual graphics card or integrated graphics. It can be found by following those steps that I outlined earlier:

I will be leaving shortly as I have a prior arrangement with some friends, but in the event we can't get this issue resolved shortly I will be back later in the day.
-
Oh, okay-
After clicking Display Adapters below it says "Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation- WDDM 1.1)"
-
Okay, try downloading and running this program. It should automatically update those drivers:

I will be back later today if you need any further help. Hopefully this resolves the issue, though.
-
Okay! Thank you very much!
-
No problem. :) I hope that this fixes the problem.
-
TweakBit requires a payment to update your drivers, I don't want to pay for this..
-
Hmmm... Try this one instead:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/2...-Update-Utility (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility)
This one comes directly from Intel so it should be free.
-
I scanned and it said "no drivers were detected for your product".

I have hard horrible things about Windows 10 and graphic drivers, so I'm actually not surprised to hear that you are having this problem. As for the solution... well, have you tried to launch the game from an external program like Magic Launcher (http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-tools/1262884-launcher-magic-launcher-1-3-1-mods-options)? It might fix the issue.
-
No but I'll try! Thanks!
-
I really am not fond of these, I just want to play normal Minecraft.
-
Stories like these are why I'm sticking with Windows 7. I've got too many games to possibly emerge unscathed.
-
I like windows 10, but then again my computer is fairly new and I have a separate graphic driver from Nvidia (who has windows 10 drivers available for nearly all of their last 2 year's of video cards). Using Windows 10 has actually fixed the issue I had with the Sims 4 on Windows 8 and finally made it playable.
I recommend contacting the place where you bought your computer to ask if they can help you out with finding the right drivers, or buy a separate graphics card and let someone install it for you.

This was my Dad's laptop, I'm not sure if he'd remember where he got it.
-
Ah laptops... Older than 1.5 years, I wouldn't recommend upgrading to Win10. My own laptop, 3 years old, was barely able to work when I upgraded. No drivers for anything at all. Had to downgrade back to Windows 7.

If all else fails, you could download the Windows 10 Beta Version of Minecraft. However, you will either have to do the free trial or pay $9.99 for the whole game.

Like I said, make it a last resort. Until then, see what else you can find as I'm out of ideas myself at this point. -_-

I've had mine for several years, and its been working just fine, except for the driver problem.

I got it for free since I bought actual Minecraft, but no one has made a Forge for it to play mods with.

I have decided to just return to Windows 7, Windows 10 is not worth all this hassle.

Very wise decision, my friend.
