I have a new Asus B760M mobo and have set W10 up on it. Now I want to set up W7 to run on this board. I have managed to get W7 running smoothly enough but I have no USB drivers running and I am using only a PS/2 keyboard since Asus, in their infinite wisdom, decided one PS/2 port was enough and the manual states 'either/or', not both via a splitter. BTW...before someone kindly points me to a setup utility aimed at updating an installation disk, I need to get this W7 OS running on th existing disk. It is far too complex to reinstall years of apps, some of which I cannot remember where to find the installation disks. I am looking for drivers to work with that are as close to modern as possible, and there seems to be a decent source on Atak Snajpera's old thread here.... https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-kabylake-coffelake-ryzen-threadripper.76335/ In the folder named 'Intel Chipsets' there are several folders containing chipset drivers like Apollo Lake, Cannon Lake, etc. The problem I am having is deciphering the strange system Intel has of numbering the series. I want to find a set of drivers that are close to my Raptor Lake series which is 700 series with a 13th generation processor. However, Intel, for some reason also refers to chipsets as series 6, series7, etc., and those numbers have nothing to do with the 600 or 700 series chipsets. When I try to order the chipsets by the newest to the oldest, I need to know which is which. Any research I have done is very confusing on that. It is plain that my Raptor Lake series is a 700 series and the chipset is aptly numbered 760. However, other series like Sandy Bridge (6 series), Ivy Bridge (7 series), Haswell (8 series) and Broadwell (9 series) seems to be referencing the CPU generation rather than the chipset. What gives? To muddy the waters, Intel even produces chipsets marked as the C600 series. I am wondering if they have an Obfuscation Department in which they hire people to make the literature as confusing as possible.
Just w7 x64, George, and it is not a fresh installation. That's why I have not tried your installer yet but I may soon. BTW...you said you would PM me a disk but I don't see any PM mechanism on the site. How do you check for a PM? So far, I have installed SATA drivers that got me to the desktop and I can operate with a PS/2 keyboard. I cannot install USB drivers since the OS does not seem to install either the Hub or XHCI driver. I think I may have problems with a PCi driver since that should be the main driver interrogating the USB devices. First, I want to be sure I have good chipset drivers for the B760M. I also need to check ACPI drivers. I am thinking of updating my W7 installation disk on another hard drive using your installer to see if it will install USB drivers. If it does, I can troubleshoot it using the installation created by your installer. There is a lot to think about.
