Hello, dunno if this is already posted, do not find anything about, but i need to enable the usb-c (thunderbold port) of my motherboard (asrock B365) under windows 7, as it is now is not recognized but charging my phone or connected a pair of speakers it work. In the device manager list is not displayed anything. Thank you if someone can point me a link for the drivers, if they even exist.
there are older thunderbolt add-in cards from asrock or asus , gibabyte that have still driver for windows 7, but newer cards are windows 10+, like also those with usb4.0; if you have only usb-c on your mobo, then you don't need thunderbolt drivers, but usb-c (usb3.0) for windows 7, they have been shared here on these forums already if i am not mistaken.
UPD2 successfully booted to safe mode only once, last successful configuration works, never will install this crap again
This is not crap, quite the opposite.... It's very nice and helpful of @daniel_k to have made this USB3 driver port for Windows 7. I followed the instructions to the letter and it worked for me.
I've been installing simplix'd windows 7 on platforms with usb3 controllers for a long time now and I haven't experienced any issues even remotely similar to yours. Neither when simplix used his own Win7USB3 project nor now that he switched to daniel_k's universal driver port months ago. I would be hard pressed to say this driver port is "crap".
and then if the port was really bad as he claims, then why wouldn't this project have already been abandoned? For me it works very well on a Windows 7 VM
I have a live Windows 7 setup running on Intel Z87 motherboard with Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller and stock Intel USB drivers from 2013. I'm interested in UASP for external USB devices. Can I install just the uaspstor to achieve this?
I'm trying to upgrade my rig again, I went from z97 to z370 some time ago and now I'm trying to move to z590. All the mother boards are from the same vendor. This board have PS/2 port so I can plug my keyboard and navigate. I already have all the native drivers working (chipset, network and audio), no video driver since I'm using an F CPU this time. But USB 3 drivers keep freezing windows when I try to install. As a validation method, I successfully installed Windows 7 on this hardware using Enthousiast SiMPLiX AiO ISO I built. Everything works as intended. I've been using DriverStoreExplorer to "install"/apply the drivers to my windows and after that move the nvme to the new hardware and boot. Everything gets recognized and drivers are installed automatically from the driver store. Sadly in this case, my problems start with the USB drivers, every time I try to install the driver it freezes and I have to hard reset. After restarting, I'm able to log in but it hags when windows tries to install the USB drivers again. If I move the nvme to my old hardware I'm usually able to boot normally. I have tested both, the driver from this thread (thanks for your work!) and a exact copy from the working install of the AiO but it also hags in the same place. I have also tried cleaning up all my usb drivers before installing this and the AiO one, but after moving the nvme to the new hardware it gets stuck and then freezes on the windows logo boot screen for ever. The first time I moved (z97 to z370), I tested the sysprep method and it worked but broke a lot of my stuff. After that I did a "hard" move using the method I described before and it worked without breaking anything. This time I tried to test sysprep as a validation step but it failed to complete without an explanation/specific error. So I'm trying again to do a "hard" move again. No, I do not want to start over with a fresh install, that's out of the picture. Thank you for understanding. Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause or a way to trace it so I can report here and hopefully get a fix for it? Thank you for the help.
@Fisk You can try using a driver that is modified from Intel USB 3.0 drivers found here: winraid.level1techs.com/t/solution-win7-drivers-for-usb-3-0-3-1-controllers-of-new-intel-chipset-systems/33536/205
