Is there a bios setting?
Have no nvm driver for windows 7I went into the BIOS > Main, Touchpad and changed it from Advanced to Basic and then saved and closed. When booting into Windows I opened Device Manager and the driver was installed automatically, so now I have the touchscreen and the touchpad working.
thanks for the reply.
No. No bios settings for touchpad. Anyway, I am using the same bios settings after install as during install, so this would not explain why it's working during install. There's something on the install disk that's making it work - driver or setting.
I'm booting into the USB drive in legacy (mbr) during install, and booting up the HDD after install in legacy mode as well.
I'm installed onto the HDD at the moment. I did not want to complicate things by trying the NVMe drive yet.
PE ( boot.wim) uses the standard vga.sys driver for graphics. How that might affect the touchpad on your machine, I don't know.
You didn't say what install media you used. If you think boot.wim has some drivers that are not present in install.wim, there is an easy way to find out.
You will find boot.wim in the sources folder of the installtion media.
1.Use dism++ to mount boot.wim image 2.
2.Make sure the mounted image is highlighted in Blue.
3.Click Open session.
4.Click Drivers in the left pane.
5.Any third party drivers will be displayed in the main window, and you can export them to a folder.
6.Then File>Unmount image

That will give you the general idea - after mounting the wim image, click Open Session as in the pics, then Click Drivers in the left pane.
If there are no third party drivers, it could be that your bios behaves differently when running an Os ( pe ) in ram. Possibly there is some kind of PS2 emulation.
Oem's will often hide bios settings from the users. If that is the case, then as far as I know, a bios mod is one way to reveal the hidden settings. Outside the scope of this forum. You could ask at win-raid, somebody there might be willing to do it for you. They seem to enjoy that kind of thing.
SIW2, i3-8130U is a Kaby Lake CPU so the Chipset should also be. Why not try a Kaby Lake USB driver?
Why not also try all other drivers for Kaby Lake?
Hi @Megahertz07 If you know the name of the drivers that would help me. Via directions given by @SIW2's above, I have a list of the drivers from Dism++ that is in the boot.wim on my USB install drive (where the touchpad and USB is working). Then I can hopefully install them.
bbaker6212, you did not tell us where did your Win 7 installation disk came from.
I ask because you can integrate (slipstream) drivers into the Installation disk.
And you can add the drivers only to the boot.wim, ie, winPE that runs setup or also to install.wim that has the four versions of win 7 (H,HP, Pro and Ultimate).
If USB drivers where integrated only to the winPE will explain why you had mouse and touch pad during installation.
And the touch pad is probably connected to a USB, so once you install the USB drivers you will have it working.
here is the full list - I exported everything, all the drivers listed.
List of drivers on Pastebin
Sorry, the Win10 box has Portuguese language installed.
Here's an English translation of that pastebin if it helps identify drivers.
