Referring to the link above,  a Video/Graphics adaptor is required, but I don't know whether an integrated graphics card/adapter could  be used with the software.  The system requirement does not specific this. Could I use a laptop with an Intel HD Integrated graphics card 4600 with Ver. 10.3 arcGIS? Will there be a problem too if I run it on i5 processor instead of a i7 processor? Is the software compatibility with OS Window 10?

Please see the following Knowledge Base article on support for Windows 10.

ArcGIS Desktop doesn't support Windows 10 as of yet. Other than that as long as your graphics cards meets minimum the specs on the page you listed everything should be fine (i.e 64 or more MB RAM, OpenGL version 2 and Shader Model 3 or higher, etc.). Also, having an i5 or i7 processor shouldn't make much of a different. You'll just want to make sure whatever you have meets the 2.2 GHz minimum.

If you have any doubts about checking the specs of your machine you can run the "CanYouRunIt" utility and a program will analyst your specs and inform you if you'd be able to run the software.

If it helps any, I'm running 10.3.1 on my Windows 10 Pro machine and I haven't run into any problems as of yet. My laptop has both an NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M and Intel HD 4600 graphics cards. I'm also running a i7 processor with 16GB of RAM.
