Test for few months, I succeed to find the best Generic drivers for USB 3.0/3.1 Controllers. Because it can work well for AMD X570 and Ryzen 3000 CPU now.
So I think we may can use win8/8.1/10 self USB drivers, transplant them on win7. But I don’t know any programming.
Also we can use IDA 7.2 pro to open win8/8.1/10 self USB drivers, they can auto load .pdb files, maybe it can help us to transplant them on win7.
I hope more people can try to transplant them.
Thanks.

Gentlemen，do you think it is possible to transplant win8/8.1/10 USB drivers on win7?
I think that’s impossible since it’s a category of devices that misses from 7. Just the same as for accelerometer sensors which I have on my Acer SP515 convertible laptop. There is no such device class in Windows 7.
I hope i’m wrong though.
@bloodhand
I had found the best USB driver and it can support X570 and RYZEN 3000 series CPU and AMD/NVIDIA USB-C，No BSOD now.
Any link to test? Thanks.
@bloodhand
Because of the NDA, I can not share it right now, this driver will post few weeks latter,which is working for the Graphics card USB-C on win7.
And it can modify to as a generic usb driver.
does it work with AMD USB 3.2 ports?
what about USB Audio on 3.2 ports? current win7 driver does not work well with attached USB Audio devices.
@roytam1
Yes，USB Audio also work.
[Solution] Win7 drivers for USB 3.0/3.1 Controllers of new AMD X570 mainboard.
Do we get the UCSI USB Connector Manager too? I have an "USBC000", I have no idea what the manufacturer is, it’s a USB Type-C connector on my Acer Spin 5 SP515 laptop.
Is the driver ready to be uploaded? I can’t wait to test
@bloodhand
I think the driver can not support USBC000, because the universal USB device ID is PCI \ CC_0C03, and the universal ID of the USB-C interface used by AMD and Nvidia graphics cards is also PCI \ CC_0C03. But your device ID is USBC000, which is more difficult to solve.
My device ID is ACPI\USBC000. I will find a photo of the motherboard of the laptop, maybe I can find a chipset of the USB-C controller.
I couldn’t find any photo of the motherboard where I could see the USB-C chipset. All I can say is that my ACPI\USBC000 device installs as UCSI USB Connector Manager in Win10. Does your generic driver have support for UCSI USB?
@bloodhand
I think it can not support UCSI USB. Maybe it is different from the other USB controllers.
Yes, maybe. According to microsoft, the ucsi usb-c devices were only introduced starting win10. Such a device class doesn’t exist in win7 of 8.1. See here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows…ers/usbcon/ucsi
I currently don’t use this, but it would be useful to use it with an usb-c to hdmi adapter to have 4k output at 60hz. I also found an USB 3 non-C adapter that does this, but it’s way to expensive: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B072FHTZ8V/ref=…&language=nl_NL It’s not a big deal since I only use 4k to watch 4k movies, for other purposes I still use 1080p, so 4k at 30hz is enough for movies which are standard 24hz.
That’s the same for gyroscope sensor, which I can’t have it working in win 7. They work however starting win8: https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2…trabook-sensors It is used to rotate the screen automatically.
Luckily someone created an app called Cleartype Rotate which I can use to rotate the screen of my convertible laptop and have the cleartype displayed correctly in the mode I choose.
Generic USB 3.0 driver from Windows 8 has been successfully backported to Windows 7 by daniel_k on My Digital Life forums:

I’ll give it a try with my USB-C device.
It doesn’t work, actually that driver works with usb-c that do not act as acpi device. Mine does that. I guess there won’t ever be a solution to port UCM UCSI device class to win7…
