Hello! It seems you're observing a shift in how device drivers are handled in Windows. In Windows 7 and earlier, new peripherals would automatically install compatible drivers. However, starting with Windows 8, devices that don't fit the standard setup—like certain cameras or Android devices—often fail to install properly. My experience with an HTC running Marshmallow showed this clearly; Windows 10 didn’t recognize it, even after manual installation. I ended up using a Windows 7 machine to run Windows 10. This behavior is crucial for me because it allows me to use drivers without relying on the internet. If you're considering updating your 7 laptop to Windows 10, I’m curious if there’s a way to replicate this automatic driver setup. Thanks in advance for your help!

Initially everything functioned well, even with older webcams. It seems something might be disabled. Test it on another Windows 8 or 10 machine?

Same repo, w10 will simply fetch the drivers. It's the same as before with XP/7—it sometimes misinterprets.
