Updating B-113M's Intel HD 4000 Graphics driver

I've had my Travel Mate since 2013.  It has served me well, but Iam doing some things where improved graphics would be nice.  The latest driver for the HD 4000 on the Acer site is dated 2013 (three years ago). The Intel site has drivers dated 2016, but it also says the Acer has customized the driver and that downloading a generic driver could lead to "Technical Issues." 

 

I'm really wanting to know if downloaded a more updated driver would in fact really hurt my computer?  I also want to know WHEN Acer is going to start offereing updated drives for their older models to improve their performance.

    If they haven't updated the driver since 2013, this probably means Acer doesn't think the driver needs improvement. I would install the new driver, and worst case scenario, you can uninstall it later.
