Porting Win7 64bit EFI to New NB- Dell5590 (Coffee lake, HD630+Gef2060) from MSI GE62 7RE (Kaby lake,HD 630 +Geforce 1050TI),except Nvidia USB3 solved

I used youtube video inf hack above and i now is driver install working no more bitching about not compatible OS or adapter.. It tried to uninstall wufuk, ale it doesnt matters.

  After restart, i see that Nvidia video card has driver and its working, at least on ! mark..

  Because video, is simply pointing to edit 1 line in inf file, which is probably for Geforce 840M.. i see my card named as Geforce 840M.

  When i run Unigine Heaven, i see in GPU info correct information - Geforce 2060 and im getting lots of FPS, it seems that Nvidia card is really running, its running in Window.

   When i run dxdiag, i see only Intel - i really dunno how Optimus should behate, if i there should be 2 cards.. Because card switching could be problem..

   It need some testing and editation, right line in inf for right name.. BTW i wonder are these names cutomizable? I always wanted to use my custom names for devices  in device manager? Lets say than Geforce 2060 hacked laptop RuThaNs GPU would be nice..

  Im will continue to test, guess that MSI After burner etc, will report right used card.. i some games have card info, fps boot should be big boots. I also wonder about Nvidia panel - if it will work, there you can select card used for application.. I will inform you about problem.

  I used just last Win 7 64 bit driver for desktop 2060 from web.. for now its promising.

Ok nvidia panel and its working.. Geforce experience is crashing during start.. but i saw it even not fully working desktop machines, its just bad SW and sometimes needs some fixes.

  Nvidia panel is showing right Geforce 2060 as installed graphics card..

[ruthan]

Ok, i think that we won  I was dare as usually and this time it worked..

 I tried couple of games, all is working as expected, in fullscreen etc. With MSI after burner i can see, that i have 2 video cards, and 1st one is used and that lots of VRAM is used - and Intel HD has max 2 GB or less and i have used much more and my GPU usage is almost 100% and second card with less memory, has minimal usage = Intel HD.
  Even Quake II modded for Raytracing is working fine, which i was unsure if even available on Windows 7  its only running on RTX Nvidia HW, for sure.

   Only minor problem was with Unreal Tournament III steam version, 13 years old game, when i runs in fullscreen, it has some strange red lines everywhere on screen, but i had same problem with it with Intel HD.. so it probably not related to Nvidia, in Window it run fine.. and even i turn on vsynch in videomenu it runs now fine even in full screen. I quess that this game, probably has some issue with my 144 Hz screen, which is because of Dell probably not G-Synch, what is shame.. but had to make some compromised when i selected this HW.. so 144 Hz screen is still better than 60, but worse than 144 Hz + G-synch, if im not wrong G-synch.. in comparision with Freesynch is supported even on Windows 7.

  No i will only fix proper GPU name in device manager.. and if i will in good to mess with Geforce experience - Shadowplay is nice, but its not only one GPU accelerated video recording software and driver update will not work anyway and im not big user its automated game videosettings adviser.. or Nvidia shield streaming or VR.

  I have high hope in Nvidia drivers that with set desktop Nvidia 2060, it not try desktop clock and fry my card, because my card is running much faster than would be running Geforce 840M, but i does that for this was invented Dells next business day repair

I made proper card name working:
- a searched through Total Commander all, directory where are *inf files, because 2060 string, wasnt file, which is youtube tutorial using - nvaci.inf i found this string in more classic and i would say main inf file - nv_dispi.inf, i have found that Geforce 2060 has this device id:
NVIDIA_DEV.1E89 = "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060"
  So i replaced all occurance of line where is 1E89 with my HardwareIDs to make lines like these, by same way as tutorial is doing for other inf file and first lines in block:
%NVIDIA_DEV.1E89%           = Section001, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1F11&SUBSYS_08EA1028&REV_A1  

Save the file and again run extracted Nvidia installer -setup.exe , which is after this mode running as usually. How to again access to extracted installer is in youtube video, you need very advanced hacking tactic - run installer and better you start installation, it will report that card is unsupported and delete files.. just copy extracted files aside and after that close installer.
   Maybe is simply possible extract Nvidia - exe by 7zip.. i used it to access to original inf files after mod.. because i needed modified other file and replaced previos edit with original file, so multiple items in Clipboard SW is also handy..

I wonder is there some univerzal utility or its neeed driver for make FN keys working? It would be nice just make volume Up/Down and display Brightness up/down working.. other shortcuts im really not need or using.

[ruthan]

About FN keys i have found some old Dell Fuction key util from 2013 and its working.

 Now i exchanged Wifi adapter for Dell DW1560 which is known to be working with MacOS, its Wifi ac + Bluetooth combo.

IDs and names:
Description: BCM20702A0
USB\VID_0A5C&PID_216F&REV_0112
In Linux is named BCM4352

In Windows 10 it worked out of box, in Linux i had problem, because its Broadcom Linux from some reasons have not Broadcom devices working out of box, in kernel, there is in Mint 20, some Device manager, but it not worker, so i had to same some terminal porn.. it need some kernel dkms modul and kernel headers after broadcom drivers could be successfully installed.. but doesnt matter here. Bluetooth in Linux is working too.

    I have problem with Windows 7, wifi is working fine - with generic Broacom driver.. but bluetooth dont. I tried, automatic driver searching - nothing, few Dell drivers, few HP drivers, few Lenovo drivers. SDI tool too - 5 of them. Problem with Dell drivers is that they are for whole Laptop, but not for some branded Dell -> Broadcom Wifi adapters and it was used in other models than i have.

  
  Device is found, but driver installation is problem, when i try to install driver by hand, i usually getting:  Access denied error message, which im not familiar with what it exactly means?

   Has someone proven Windows 7 driver for this device? Because of gaming and i would like to use Bluetooth too..

Even if you find a driver, you'll be limited to Bluetooth 3.0.

[ruthan]

In specs i saw bluetooth 4.0, i afaik Bluetooth 5 is mainly about power management, so not big deal.. and even Bluetooth 3 would be enough for some remove gaming devices, speakers etc. 

  Otherwise i found some threads with same access denied problem, as i have, but not clear solution, at least not for me, i had same problem with Nvidia drivers, but never saw this problem on other machines. Im local admin, i dont set any special policies, but notebook was used in some corporate environment, so some evil script could be executed as part some installer etc. Im using Avira, but im using it on other computers too and never saw this error, when i stopped it for while, no change.

So solutions suggest, try to install drivers in save mode, but its not solution for me, same error. Access Denied, when some drivers install succeed by SDI tool - i tried all ~40 available drivers, i got code 1,18 or 28 it never worked, as it should..

You could try replacing the card with a older one. Intel 3165 is pretty common in recentish laptops, and should be cheap.

[ruthan]

Thanks, i know but they are not supported on Hackingtosh side, if nothing changed in last months.. I google about my my file access denied problem, it could sing of some spyware and Malware Bytes should help, i will try it later. I also could buy very small usb bluetooth dongle, but i would like to avoid it.
