Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I have an old notebook that ive decided to install a simpler OS onto. I did a complete wipe of the windows 8 on the HDD and installed a version of windows 7 instead. Everything went smoothly until i reached this problem:

In the other devices category are these devices and controllers. None of them have any driver information or a digital signature. Ive browsed multiple files and drivers on your website and cant find one to solve this problem.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi:

 

You need these drivers...

 

Ethernet:  Download, unzip and run the setup application from the 2nd file listed at the link below.

Network:

 

This package contains the driver installation package for the Ralink wireless LAN Controllers in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

PCI Dev:  Download, unzip and run the setup application from the first file listed at the link below...

Unknown:  There can be one of several devices labeled as Unknown when a driver needs to be installed.

 

Please post the hardware ID for the unknown device, so I can figure out what driver it needs.

 

Use this guide for how to find the hardware ID...
