How to adopt Win7 drivers to Vista ?

[mardunaki]

i'm new here, recently successfully installed Vista Ultimate SP2 via WinNtSetup,
but completely failed drivers installation (even nvidia 365.19 gives error after first check)

obviously this motherboard not supported, i wonder is there any tricks or hints to make things work?
(would be great somehow modify win7 drivers or something, LAN and USB especially needed)

MSI H110M PRO-VD
Intel® G4400

those are problematic, better to purchase a dedicated usb card for Vista.

Try this one. It's not mine, but I can't link to the original forum since it hosts pirated software, so I can only give a direct link.

It's a generic USB 3 driver made by the same user that made the AMD USB 3 driver.

Important, you need to install the official update KB2864202 first!

A generic NVMe driver that supports Vista; (from a Chinese forum) here's a mirror:

Link is dead, but you probably mean this archive?

Well, thats my file exactly and Mydigital Life is legit forum  Just repost everything. Files without registry keys wont allow you to run USB3 in Vista PE. And yes, USB3 driver is one of older ones ported by @daniel_k before he dropped support for Vista from his Windows 8 USB3 driver port for 7.

Thanks, but don't be so sure, there was a discussion where we supposed to meet when MSFN is down, and that forum was considered to be a very questionable alternative and rejected due to the fact I mentioned.

Good to know! I wrote it wasn't mine, someone gave it to me without telling who the owner was. I'll report that person the next time.

Perhaps this is why it didn't work me, I always disable all logging, mind telling why do we need this logger to be active? thank you.

That older original port literally killed my MSI B85 mobo some years ago. I wrote about, it's now too long to find the post.

So don't do it, my advice,

[mardunaki]

thanks for help but unfortunately, doesn't work (this drivers won't install at all no matter what)
i alrady have latest updates with all extra stuff like C++ redistributables & Net Frameworks 4.6.1
including D3Dcompiler64 etc. (6.0.6003.22668) <- all that installed via bat-file somehow without errors but runing .msu files seperatly have no luck.
I dunno, this is hard! my mind slovly shifting to idea of transforming win10 to vista on GTR7

btw i'm using cheap "adata" ssd no M2 on board!
only one old slot for mouse or kayboard, its real pain!
maybe sometime i'l find external solutions for usb and lan but now, i dunno...
