I need to get windows 7 working on my Alienware r4 17, because the place I work at inspects all devices. and if you bring your own you have to have windows 7. Now, I had to get intel eXtensible 3.0 drivers into the install usb, and installed win7 fine
I then installed KIller Wifi/Ethernet drivers, now those are working, and installed Intel Iris Pro 530 drivers, thats working as well. BUT, my Nvidia GTX 1070 Mobile DOES NOT SHOW UP. I tried downloading drivers, the installer says "No compatible hardware". In device manager, I get my Intel Iris under display adapters, but instead of my 1070 theres Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I downloaded countless driver update software to see if they could detect my 1070, but no. Then I got GPU-Z and installed it, and when I opened it up, it detects my 1070! But, its labeled as Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I can't get anything I've seen on google to work, don't want to have to buy another laptop just for this. Thanks
