lel what you talking about? Windows 7 didn't even have native USB3 support either. Can confirm you cannot install Windows 7 directly over USB3 ports without additional drivers...

Just asking... Your nvidia GPU is?? If you look up Device Manager does it say something like 3D controller or VGA controller?

right... but m$ft is getting rid of win7 and win8.x so maybe will focus more w10 soon...

but whateva I already abandon ship since release of 10TP, moved to Linux...

hmm... ok but have you seen this 3D Video Controller when you start to install any display drivers or already uninstalled any display drivers?


ok so from what I know (maybe not true), that 3D video controller is your nvidia gpu (if that is correct) but why WIndows recognise that way instead of VGA compatible controller has its meanings...
that HDMI port of yours (if you have) is connected directly to one of your gpus, be it intel or nvidia...

if nvidia gpu is shown to be 3d video controller, chances are your hdmi port is used solely by intel gpu (i think newer laptop is like this) for output through hdmi cable (if you use)...
is this a good thing or bad thing? i dunno but its definitely good thing on Linux

ok anyway that hd audio driver is only used for gpus that controls the hdmi port to output sound, thats why intel also got its intel hd audio if you installed from intel display driver
also applies to nvidia
probably to cover all sorts configuration on desktop/laptop

so even if you installed the nvdia hd audio driver if your nvidia gpu is not the one controlling the hdmi port, i guess nothing will happen since the extra driver just sit there doing nothing...

so yeah background info for your hd audio display driver...
