Update your Win 7 installation media

Is there an August 2024 SIMPLIX update available for W7-Pro?

August 2024 "patch Tuesday" was only yesterday.
It usually takes 2 - 3 days for Simplix to release the new update pack.
Be patient a little longer.

I have downloaded and un-zipped the driver.
should I integrate it into Win7 installation media, or install the driver after Win7 OS install finished?
working on HP 800 G4/G5 computer with Intel 9th gen CPU (i5-9500/9600). the un-zipped file looks for the latter case, i.e. install it when Win7 OS install finished.


btw, Simplix failed today. will try it later.
my install needs, USB3.1 (NOT USB 3.0) driver, graphics driver, and hopefully Simplix update.


Thanks,

Since HP doesn't officially have Windows 7 drivers for the HP 800 G4/G5 you will be lucky if you find any. BTW, did you try any Windows 10 drivers from HP to see if they would work?

I have various computers from 2 years old to 22 years old. They have Windows XP, 7, 10 and 11. I normally only put supported operating systems on specific computers. When I deviate from that I don't always find drivers. Sometimes even these drivers are generic Microsoft ones that aren't the fastest.

@SIW2, I did everything in Post #1 including the integration of the current SIMPLIX updates. It all seemed to go well. I used the provided .cmd to create the ISO, and used Rufus to create the bootable USB. Windows 7 launched from the USB but there was still no mouse or keyboard. My computer is running an Asrock Z790 Lightning WiFi motherboard, which does not have the legacy USB2 chipset.

Hmm, but what I'm trying to do is get my old Win7 drive from my last Z370 motherboard build (I had Win10 as primary on that board, but the Win7 drive was also running there as I had - and still have - old legacy stuff that won't run on anything past Win7) "updated" so that it will run on this new '790 board.

The i5-13600K does have E-cores.

I tested this one, working fine on HP 800 G4/G5.

per signature timestamp (driver version 21.20.16.5068), canonkong made it year 2019. so it's good for 8th/9th gen CPUs which came out before 2019.

newer CPUs after year 2019 may need newer version of this driver or using SDI (last version I obtained, driver version 21.20.16.5077, a little newer) .
