No matter where I download them from, I install them but nothing changes in "device manager" after a restart.

I still have
Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D60
Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D61
in "system devices"

and
unknown device in "other devices"

You might find this interesting:

I deleted all the new Intel(R) Serial IO A160 A161 I installed, and after a restart "other devices"->"unknown device" disappeared (so I have zero yellow flags now)

I still have
Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D60
Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D61
in "system devices"

but of course touchpad still doesn't work

@Fernando
Right, I give up,

I am sad that I couldn't find any explanation as to the difference between 9D60/61 and A160/61 though. I just can't get A160/61.

I just wanted the same OS on both my computers, main and this new laptop.

I will have to buy a Windows 10 and install it on my main but it's going to be a pain, it will take a long time to reinstall everything.
I use many odd/old/small programs that probably won't work 100% as before too.

If only Microsoft would stop making new OSs every few years and so much different/uglier, they should have gone from 7 to 10 instead of that 8 bs.

@Fernando
Thanks for the answer, sorry but I still don't understand the connection between A160/61 and elan1200
You are probably giving for granted that I know something that I don't...

Anyway, besides "Hardware IDs"--->"ACPI\ELAN1200" there is "Compatible IDs"--->PNP0C50

Looking for PNP0C50 I found this:

"ACPI v5.0 support is not in Windows 7. Further, HID Over I2C is not
supported natively by Windows until Windows 8. There is no way to turn on
this support in Windows 7, it's simply not there. Note that this is also
true for non-HID devices attached to I2C.

Making a HID Over I2C compliant device work with Windows 7 is a non-trivial
task that requires coordination with the platform vendor. At a minimum, you
need some resources provided to you by the ACPI BIOS with which to
communicate with your hardware."

Thank you both for your answers.

Can I ask something on Windows 10, is it really true that:

-you can't COMPLETELY disable automatic updates? Even disabling the service, it is reenabled after a while? I want to be able to choose the updates.
-they forcibly collect info about what you do

I am reading scary reviews on Windows 10, sounds like "big brother"

It for sure is!

Do a search with this string: Windows 10 Lite Edition V7 (x64)

you can find a lot of modded versions where all those additional and useless options are disabled

They're really cblocking Win7 and pushing Win10 here is the main issue. Did you have it working in Win10, or no? What about system factory restore, it should have been all working when you got the device correct?

Which are the HardwareIDs of this "Unknown device"?

Meanwhile I found ELAN drivers v11.4.31.1 dated 10/17/2013, which do support Win7 and Win8 x86/x64. Maybe they will be usable. >Here< is the link to the driverpack.
