Question Win 7 Ult driver incompatibility

[brutusthebear]

I'm having some issue with the drivers to use my current laptop with win 7.

Basically a bunch of my hardware isn't recognized and I don't really know which drivers are missing.

For example I have a 1050 Ti GPU and the Nvidia driver client tells me that I need a driver from intel.

When I go to intel for win 7 drivers (which are hard enough to find) it says that they arent compatible with my hardware.

I also suspect that the PCI-E bus as a whole may not be recognized as those drives show error in device manager.

Any ideas how to approach this issue?

What laptop is it?

Chipset, sata, audio, lan etc drivers should be located at the laptop manufacturer's website.

For Nvidia graphics card, get this driver from Geforce.com/drivers

Yes, when you want to install nvidia drivers on a laptop, you'll always need to have installed before the Intel HD drivers. There's no way to get it working without it.

Is important to note that intel removed support for windows 7 for integrated video cards such as HD 630 or newer. But that's not exactly true. You have to edit a .ini file or something, and you can re-enable windows 7 compatibility, which intel removed without reason. Did you did that before trying to intall the driver?

Here's a guide on how to do that tweak:
