    so , are the correct drivers going to be on intel's website on july 29th?
    Yes, according to the link from the Intel rep on their official support forums the graphics drivers for the HD Graphics range will be released once Win 10 is officially released.

    fine , however the i3-5010u uses the latest intel 5500 graphics , not the 4600 series


    this is one of the new broadwell CPUs




    the driver for win 7 (32 and 64) and win 8 (32 and 64) is on intels website , listed specificly for this model , as you say win 10 is arguing with it

    Looks to me like joe_intel needs to learn how to write a coherent English sentence, he seems to be missing the word 'not' between 'will' and 'be'.

    I know, I've got a broadwell NUC too (the i5 with HD 6000 graphics). They'll all have Windows 10 driver support:

    I still have a Canon N650U scanner attached to a Windows 7 PC. When I upgraded the PC from XP in 2013 it was a nightmare to get it to accept the driver for the scanner, which is specified only up to XP. But is OK now.

    Same PC has an HP Deskjet 5400 series printer. Under Windows 7 I lost all the utility functions such has head-cleaning, ink level checks and so on.

    The Windows 10 pre-release checking software has announced that the PC is is ripe and ready for Windows 10.

    Will Windows 10 work OK with these old devices?

    I thought the same. Spoke to IT specialist at work. He says Windows 10 drivers are the same as Windows 7 and there is nothing to worry about.
