    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.

    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
