Drivers for XPS 8930?

Recommended Posts

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?

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:

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

Audio: https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER01494284M/4/Audio_Realtek_WIN_A01_313J8-Setup_ZPE.exe

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?

VEN_8086&DEV_3E98&

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

Or:

This might also do :unsure::

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:

The drivers are "win7_8th_i3_i5_Driver_2.0.rar".

Thanks again for the help!
