[Request] Win7 Drivers for Z690 Chipset System

Howdy, I’m pretty new to these forums, only creating an account today. I’ve set up a fresh Windows 7 installation on my machine, dual booting with my existing Windows 10 install. With the help of the Flashboot bootmgfw.efi, I’m able to successfully use the OS and set up a working audio driver thanks to this forum. However, there’s a few roadblocks in my way: Chipset drivers, network drivers, and getting my RTX 3060 to work. I’ve also noticed that in my Windows 7’s Device Manager, there’s no monitors tab unlike in my Windows 10 installation.

Viewing the 3060 in Device Manager says that there’s not enough free resources for it to use (Code 12). I’m not tech savvy, but I reckon that this might be related to the chipset, as it’s connected via PCI, though I could easily be wrong about this.

For additional information:
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700k
RAM: 32GB
Motherboard: MAG Z690 Tomahawk Wi-Fi DDR4
Network Adapter: Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Since you obviously are able to boot into Win7, it is the best to run the Device Manager of the OS and to post the HardwareIDs of the devices, which need a matching driver. You will get the HardwareIDs by doing a right-click onto the related device and choosing the options “Properties” > “Details” > “Property” > “HardwareIDs”.

Why should I search for a suitable driver?
You can do it yourself by entering - one after the other - the HardwareIDs of the related on-board device and the OS you want to install into the „Google Search“ box.

How did you install Windows 7 on a 12th Gen system? Where did you get the ISO? Actually, I want to install it on an Intel N100 12th Gen mini PC.

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Since your Intel Mini-PC doesn’t have a Z690 Chipset, your questions don’t match this thread.
If you don’t find answers to your questions within the “Windows 7” Category of this Forum or by using the “Search” option, you should start a new thread.
