On my Aorus x470 gaming7 wifi motherboard and Ryzen 2700X everythings working perfect with win7x64 apart from the motherboards wifi card, as there is no driver, wondering if someone could mod me a driver so i can get rid of this horrid windows10 for good.

Thanks.

I do as well. Also need the Intel I-225V LAN driver for Windows 7. I have everything but these two network devices working.

Which are the HardwareIDs of the device?
Have you tried to install the latest Intel WiFi driver by using the "Have Disk" button?

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, System Drive: 1 TB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win11 x64 Pro

Hello. I apologize I did not see your response requesting the HWID. I did not notice a notification for the new post on a watched thread so I am just now seeing it. Thank you for responding.

Yes, I did try the "Have Disk" method and could not get it to work. I also tried modding the INF for the AX201. I was able to get that to install using the "Have Disk" method, but the card would not work and gave a status error that a required file could not be found. (An INF mod worked for the Intel i225-V NIC just fine.)

I need Windows 7 drivers for the Intel AC 9560 for one laptop (Tongfang GK5CN6Z/Eluktronics Mech 15-G2Rx) and Intel AX201 drivers for Windows 7 on a desktop (Z490 Dark) and another laptop (Clevo X170).

The AX201 HWID (for both systems) is:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&SUBSYS_00748086&REV_00
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&SUBSYS_00748086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_06F0&CC_0280

The AC 9560 HWID for the other laptop is:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A370&SUBSYS_00348086&REV_10
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A370&SUBSYS_00348086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A370&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A370&CC_0280

Unfortunately, I have not and the absence of any reply here suggests maybe the reason for it is that it is not possible, or the only people that know how to make it work are not interested. I have no plans to stop using Windows 7, so I have simply disabled WiFi in my BIOS and use only LAN.

its too bad we can't get the Intel 9260 drivers to work on w7. I contacted Intel but to no avail. their excuse is lame. since MS ended support we can't write drivers for w7.
lets see, they make billions of dollars off the customer and they can't afford a few measly millions to hire programmers to write proper drivers to support the 9260. ridiculous. hate Intel. and those idiots at MS pushing that garbage ridden w10 on everyone. another useless company that is behind the times and doesn't care what we think.
too bad someone smart programmer can't make it happen.

just add instructions to add the .inf info so we can edit ourselves. Intel is clueless. They are not gonna bother with something that has been discontinued anyway. lol
