Need Windows 7 drivers for Aspire TC-780  

Hi BlueBonnett,

Did you try cloning the disk and transferring it?

This should get you started => ATC-780 Ethernet Driver for Win7.

I hope this helps!

Hi BlueBonnett,

Hi All,
Greets,
@BlueBonnett : Sir,
1. Are you sure that your processor is 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7400 CPU'. Here is a bad news that you would have some tough time running Win 7 on it , especially Graphics & Windows Updates. It comes under Kaby Lake or 7th generation Intel processor
Here is your official product support page : Aspire TC-780 - Tech Specs | Desktops | Acer Australia
Here is your processor details : https://ark.intel.com/products/97147...p-to-3-50-GHz-

2. Use only Win 8.1 or Win 10 on this platform!
OR
Find & use modded drivers for graphics & use DISM++ to make windows 7 updates.
OR
Here is a small description of the issue : SkyLake\KabyLake\CoffeLake\Ryzen Threadripper with Win7 ? Look Here!

Thanks & Regards. ...

To be contd. ...

3. As said the problems actually get critical with 8th & 9th gen processors. I have seen no drivers availability even for Audio, Touchpad, USB wireless mouse,etc.
While with 7 gen, i have seen cases where all drivers were available & only a modded graphics driver was needed to do it all. In that case we can't leave hope just here!

4. First we have to make sure that all the chipset & storage drivers are installed well. Then we can think about other drivers. So, first we should get the 'Hardware IDs' for all unknown/uninstalled devices & Graphics. Audio is not working @ optimum but it is still working. So, once we confirm that all chipset & storage are installed, we can go for wireless & later on think about Audio drivers & others if any.

5. Hope you are lucky enough to get it all working But it would be about experimentation! Make a system image of the present status. I would go with Macrium Reflect Free : 3 Free Norton Ghost Alternatives to Create a Full Windows Image Backup • Raymond.CC

Thanks & Regards. ...

Hi All,
Greets,
@BlueBonnett : Sir,

1) Good to see that anyhow you have made this far!

2) as your running a 32bit OS, youve got 5GB of unusable RAM.
5.5 Actually.
That's quite important resource to not use! If you are satisfied with win 7 32 running on this pc. You can use at least 4Gb ram as RamDisk, Virtualisation and/or Android Emulation. I think RAM Disk is the best way to actually not waste your resources & in fact making the best of it.

RAM Disk : 13 Free RAM Disk Tools Benchmarked for Read and Write Speed • Raymond.CC

Virtualisation : How To Install and Test Windows Without Affecting The Currently Installed OS • Raymond.CC

( Virtualisation can also be used to run Linux, etc. from within windows )

Android emulation. For eg. : https://www.howtogeek.com/97920/how-...th-bluestacks/

3) If you are comfortable with the Generic Audio Driver ?
It is always said not to change/update the driver(s) till it is not causing issue(s)!

4) For Graphic card, Please let me know the 'Hardware Id'. I think there is some misinterpretation & driver is the problem. A proper win 7 driver may change the whole scenario.

Device Manager - Finding Unknown Devices

( Instead of looking for 'Unknown Device', Get 'Hardware Id' for 'VGA'. I need only Hardware Id )

(It seems win 7 does not have an in built driver for your graphic card & so, it is using a very basic/old/generic driver to just make sure that it works.
Chipset, Graphics & Storage are very basic/essential functionalities to install, setup & troubleshoot the OS easily. While making/designing modern OSs, it is/was taken care off that these functionalities work even if not at their optimum!)

EDIT:
5. Take the cover & try this modded win 7 x32 driver for Intel HD Graphics 630 : It has to be forcefully installed! Make 'Restart' after installing the driver.

The Driver : igdlh.inf - Google Drive

6. The Method to Install the driver : Driver Install - Device Manager

What you have to do is :

Place the ' igdlh.inf ' in a folder,
Follow Part 1:
Enter Device Manager,
Select 'VGA' under 'Display adapters' & try to update the driver for it.
Do Step 4
In Step 5 & 6, Browse to the 'above' folder, Click the folder & OK,
Need not do Step 7 as the driver is already extracted & ready to install,
Do Step 8,9 & 10

Anything Else ? Any Problems ? Any Confusions/Doubts ?

Please let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...
