Is it possible and/or safe to delete the non in use inf files and drivers somehow

---

It is possible, but I do not recommend to do that.
If you want to prevent unneeded or even unusual INF files or drivers, I recommend
a) not to run any driverpack installer, but just to do a manual install of the absolutely needed drivers/INF files from within the Device Manager,
b) not to update each driver, when a new version is available and
c) not to force any driver installation by using the -overall option.

I upgraded to Windows 10 and after that i get a yellow mark in the device manager. Looking at Hardware ID: ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33A0

This is the Intel Smart Connect Technology device. The latest usable driver is v1.0.8.0 (the later released are faulty).
If you have installed the 64bit version of Win10, you can use the attached driver. The other option is to disable the device within the BIOS.

Yes, i replied too soon, sorry Fernando. As i already said on the previous post i downloaded it one more time and i was able to extract it.

Anyway do we really need this technology while using SSD? I tried the program available from Intel few days ago and it installed without no problem but i find no use to that, so i uninstalled it. Guess that with the driver only it's all good, still, i believe that such technology is easily desnecessary while not using and HDD, at least from what i've seen on the internet.

Hello Fernando,

In both extracted inf files 9.4.4.1006 and 10.1.2.8, i don't see SandyBridge folder, does that means there is a other codename for sandy bridge or i missed something. i am a x79 user with intel 3930k, i always tend to install manually my driver or inf files when it's possible, so for this chipset case, what is the benefit to install these files manually?.

Sorry for my laziness of mind, but i don't want to open each *.inf to know which PCI\VEN_8086&DEV..... are matching.

Thanks

I do some test this morning on my X79

Result :

Package 10.1.2.8 and 10.1.2.9, installed without error during installation process, problem when rebooting MEI driver remain to 0.0.0.1 dated 04/01/2013. And with the 10.1.2.8, LPC controller not change, with 10.1.2.9 it have changed
I've to manually re-install 10.0.30.1054 driver.

Package 9.4.4.1006 give me no error latest MEI driver did not affected, so i guess these inf files are right for me
