After releasing the Intel NUC HD Graphics Driver 10.18.10.3496 and the Intel NUC Gigabit Ethernet Controller Driver 19.0 updates for its next unit computing devices, the producer has decided to improve its desktop boards as well.

Therefore, Intel has outed the same 10.18.10.3496 HD Graphics and 19.0 Gigabit Ethernet driver versions targeted at a large number of its desktop boards, which are compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems.

The network-related package brings the same changes as the NUC release, namely support for the I218-V and I218-LM Ethernet connections, and it is to be installed on Intel’s DB65AL, DH67GD, and DZ87KLT-75K desktop boards, as well as several other units (the complete support list is available on the driver’s description page).

As for the graphics update, just like the aforementioned package, this version is compatible with Intel’s Iris, Iris Pro, and HD graphics chipsets found on the same 3rd and 4th-gen Core CPUs, and Celeron and Pentium processors as the NUC release.

When it comes to applying these updates, the producer has made available several download records (one for each bit architecture of the compatible OSes), and the installation steps are quite easy – simply get and expand (if necessary) the proper package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.

That being said, if you consider updating your desktop board to these versions, follow the links below, click on the one that best describes your OS and bit variant, make sure your device is supported by this release, and hit the download button.
