Drivers for XPS 8930?

[mjdbb1]

Just a shot in the dark to see if anyone has managed to run Win7 on a Dell XPS 8930. It's got a Coffee Lake processor and a Z370 board, and I was able to get USB drivers, which is typically the hardest part. But I am missing a bunch of other ones (sound, ethernet, and a bunch of system devices/chipset). I've been all over the place looking, and tried Driver Identifier, but it really wasn't helpful. Anybody manage to get this working?

I don't own a Dell XPS 8930, but these drivers should work.

Wow, thanks for all that work!  Most of those links were ones that I didn't come across (especially the first one about the chipset).  I'm going to give them a try and will be back with what I find out.  Thanks again!

Well, thanks again, that got me most of the way.  I'm still left with a couple of devices I can't find any compatible drivers for:

- Video controller (this is the integrated Intel one...I doubt I'm going to find something for this)
- ACPI Wake Alarm
- Intel Management Engine
- AMD Root Hub (xHCI)
- Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub

what are the hardware device IDs for these devices, mjdbb1?  use this site on how to do this:

this Realtek audio driver is several years old - here's a more up-to-date version like v6.0.8821.1 for Win7 (install or update thru Device Manager and reboot OR use the setup.exe file to install/update the audio driver and restart the computer afterwards)

I tried again on a clean install...it seems to make a difference the order in which I install them.  Now I got everything except the video controller.  The hardware ID is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3E98&SUBSYS_08591028&REV_02

Any ideas on that one?

These are likely suitable Windows 7 x64 drivers (might need to experiment):

Finally got it!  Thank you, jaclaz.  I went down a little bit of a rabbit hole on some of your links, and I can't figure out exactly how I got to it...but in case anyone else ever comes looking, the drivers I finally got to work are here:

https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/event/H310_windowstool/

The drivers are "win7_8th_i3_i5_Driver_2.0.rar".

Thanks again for the help!
