So you forced the driver to install. Congratulations. But manage your expectations.
As harsh as it sounds, a used laptop from 2016 (with a 6th-gen Intel Core) can be found for $50-$100. It will run Windows 10 perfectly, support WDDM 2.0, and be five times faster. The Pentium P6200 belongs in a museum.
Since official installers often fail with a "Minimum Requirements" error, you must manually "force" the installation of a legacy Windows 7 or 8.1 driver. Intel Pentium P6200 Graphics Drivers For Windows 10 New
If you absolutely must run Windows 10 on a Pentium P6200 laptop (perhaps for a specific legacy software), the forced driver method works as a temporary bandage. However, you will live with random crashes, broken sleep, and lousy video playback.
The confusion often arises from naming conventions. Intel later released "HD Graphics 2000," "2500," "3000," and "4000" with the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge generations. The Pentium P6200 sits in the generation just before these, using the first iteration of "Intel HD Graphics."
Forcing these drivers can cause system instability, blue screens (BSOD), and Windows Update loops. Do not try this on a production machine with critical data. Create a restore point first.
