Lenovo E10-30 Laptop Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Drivers, Software

One thought on “Lenovo E10-30 Laptop Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 Drivers, Software”

1. Lenovo E10-30, Celeron N2830, Windows 7 32-bit

   Installing the Windows 7 (32-bit) or even the new Windows 10 (32-bit) is no easy task in the small netbook Lenovo E10-30 with the Celeron processor N2830.
   Lenovo complicated the lives of users, because the few available drivers do not consider these alternatives.

   In support site most drivers is for 64-bit versions and only Windows 8 and 8.1 have a higher offer.

   The best alternative installation is to download all the drivers available from Lenovo and not run directly but only expand the contents in a specific folder (or open the “exe” with WinRAR).
   At the end of the process (installation of 32-bit versions of Windows 7 and 10) left over three unidentified devices (for the Windows):

   1) Intel sideband fabric device
   2) Intel platform dinamic thermal framework driver
   3) Intel platform dinamic thermal participant driver framework

   Free programs like DriverEasy can identifying them and installing drivers can be made through this program (paid versions) or downloading the 64-bit drivers (for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1).
   Without any additional software, Windows 7 and Windows 10 (32-bit versions) will be able to find your specific support (32-bit) on 64-bit files.

   The exception is for the Intel video driver (the 32-bit version of Windows 7).
   The default Microsoft driver (Standard VGA Graphics Adapter) is so limited to allow the operation of Aero and has a performance index of only 1.
   No driver available from Lenovo has support for Windows 7 32-bit.

   The solution is on the Intel Web site, but not directly.
   The video driver (32-bit) to Windows 7 is:
   https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24592
   (Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows 7 32-bit – Celeron N2830

   But do not try to download the version “exe” or even download the zip version and run the “setup”. It will not work.
   Windows response is that the system does not have the basic requirements.
   Then follow the cake recipe…

   1) Download the driver from the Intel site. Take the “zip” file, named “win32_153332.zip”;
   https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24592

   2) Extract the zip file contents in a folder easy to find. The important content is inside the folder named “Graphics”. Do not attempt to use any executable (exe);

   3) Open the Device Manager and after expand the “Display Device” category;

   4) Click the right button on the default driver (VGA Standard Graphics Adapter) and select “Update Driver”;

   5) In the next window, select “Browse my computer for driver software”

   6) In the next window, select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers…”;

   7) In the next window, select “Have Disk”;

   8) Locate the folder where the zip file was extracted, go to the internal folder “Graphics” and select the “inf” file that, in this case, is called “igdlh.inf”. Click Ok;

   9) Select the “Intel HD Graphics” and then click “Next” option;

   10) Windows will warn you not recommending the driver installation because it can not verify that it is compatible with the hardware. Ignore the warning and click “Yes” to continue the driver installation;

   11) After installation, restart Windows.

   12) In the Control Panel, System and Security, System – update the Windows Experience Index (Rerun evaluation). The index of graphics will change from 1 to 4.2. The index of graphics for games (including 3D) will change from 1 to 5.6. Aero will work.

   Do not try to (later) update this driver automatically by Windows because the system will replace the driver “Standard VGA Graphics Adapter” back.
