Just a quick question for anyone who might know ( @Syndrome )
I went to the Intel website to update my graphics drivers because there was an update available, but when I downloaded it, it said "The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer's manufacturer".

Its probably not compatible? Let me know the make n model of your PC/laptop. I can direct you to the latest graphics driver.
In the device manager, you can check if thegraphics driver is up to date .

You don't need Intel drivers then. Intel drivers are for the chipset (won't need to update that on a prebuilt) or graphics (Intel HD Graphics). You have an Nvidia dedicated card, so that's the main drivers to worry about. The Intel driver can be upgraded (I assume your laptop uses switchable graphics and uses the Intel card normally, and the Geforce for gaming and high-powered activities), but there is no need at all if everything is running stably. Updates on Intel GPUs generally just improve stability, the performance benefits are negligible since on most models there isn't much more power to squeeze out of them (except the high end Intel Iris Graphics like on my Macbook).
Don't sweat the update at all. The Geforce driver should update right from the Nvidia dashboard thing (I haven't had a Geforce card in over 5 years, so I forget their driver system), so that should be easy to keep up to date (and is the one that matters)
I'll be glad to answer any other computer questions (hardware or software/drivers). I used to be pretty big into all that. I don't have the time to stay completely up to date, but I remember most of that crap.

Here's a screeny of the Nvidia Geforce Experience panel that I have on my PC for my old Geforce card.
You can see it says Driver's up to date.

Yeah, nice and convenient. Unlike the basic Intel drivers that don't auto update straight from the dashboard.
However, the Intel Iris graphics use a completely different driver (totally rewritten) that CAN update on its own, but that GPU is only used on Macbook Pro Retina right now AFAIK
