Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10
I have the similar unsolved Direct x driver issues in windows 10.

Sweet Home 3D 5.0 works very well on my HP G62 with Windows 7 but fails to work with Windows 10. During start up a Direct x error message indicating it needs to be updated, is displayed and the application aborts. When checking Windows 10 with dxdiag from the command line it indicates Direct x 10 is running normally and no updates are currently available. Yet on Windows 7 dxdiag indicates newer Direct x 11 is running normally.

The issue appears to be the limited Windows 10 and Intel support for the Mobile Intel 4 Graphic Chip (GMA 4500) used in this HP G62 laptop. Yet Window 10 works with the 3G Pass Mark test which appears to use Direct x 10 3D graphics without issues. Also except for Sweet Home 3D 5.0, Windows 10 works well so far.

Is there some way for getting Windows 10 and Sweet Home 3D to work on a HP G62 laptop equipped with an Intel GMA 4500 graphic chip set? Would appreciate any suggestions to get it working.
