Uninstalled Win 10 replaced with Win7 pro -- Cannot find drivers for Ethernet Adapter and USB Adapte

[BigFrankSLO]

I tried every posibility except the one that worked.

Even checked the hardware accelerator to make sure it was enabled

VGA card shows up as a standard VGA Adapter - Doubt that is true

Any other ideas?

BTW the graphics do work, it is just slower and a bit pixilated.

Unless you can modify the Intel graphics driver one way or the other, the graphics are the best they can be.

The standard vga adapter needs to have the modified driver installed to make it an Intel HD graphics adapter.

I know this thread is a year old but I am wondering how things worked out for the orginal poster.   Did you finally get the system to function properly?  I want to do the same thing but my system will not let me install Win & over Win 10.  How did you accomplish this?   It is also interesting to me that Win 7 did not automatically get the drivers you needed.

When installing Windows 10, one window will ask "where" to create the 'C:\Windows' folder.

At that point, choose to delete all the partitions, to "empty" the disk-drive.

Then, Windows 10 will re-partition the disk-drive, and will install.

I do not expect an operating system released in 2011 to include device-drivers for hardware created 7 years later.

Of course, a vendor, such as HP or Lenovo, can make those device-drivers available on their "support" web-sites, for "later" installation.
