Why is SP4 i7 512 still using Win 8 Video Driver

I received my SP4 on Friday (last). Had several video crashes (recovered) but it indicated that it is using a Windows 8 video driver when intel has a win 10 driver. Any thoughts?
 
It said the same thing when the driver crashed on my Lenovo. Nothing to do with the SP4. Try the beta driver from Intel.

Id go with the actual driver information not the outdated message displayed from the OS but you might ask why the OS is displaying such a message? of course changing the message wont fix anything so maybe they should just focus on fixing and completing things in Windows 10 that matter; 4 months on still buggy and incomplete. It will take 6-8 more but then it will be time for Redstone so add another 4-6 after that and we will see where we are next year at this time.

Intel's drivers are compatible with Windows 8.x and later currently, which is unfortunate as by maintaining backwards compatibility we're not taking full advantage of the improvements in Windows 10 yet...
