Hello, welcome! I'm here to help you. You're trying to run Windows 7 on a Core i7 9700K and have some drivers missing. You need to install specific devices like Ethernet Controller, PCI simple communication, SM Bus Controller, and USB controller. Make sure to follow the installation steps carefully and check for any additional requirements from the manufacturer.
To work with the USB in Windows 7, locate the correct drivers for your USB controller. You don’t need to download any installation tools—just use Device Manager to install the appropriate driver. For instance, a Z370 controller can be identical to a Z170 controller. Add the Z170 USB driver in Device Manager on your Z370 board. This should help those needing a USB keyboard and mouse. (It’s great if your board has a PS2 port...)
Here’s a revised version of your message:
I’d like to remove some items from this list.
Ethernet Controller – OK
PCI device – OK
PCI simple communication controller – OK
SM Bus Controller – OK
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller – X (PCIVEN_8086 & DEV_A36D & SUBSYS_86941043 & REV_10) – unknown device
This is the current status.
For the last two issues, could you please help me? Thank you.
