Win10x32 driver for Intel AC 8265 WLAN wifi needed
Hi,
hope someone can help me with more knowledge than me regarding drivers.
I just got a new Intel Wifi card AC 8265 and want (need) to install on Win10 x32 and there is no driver available.
Only Win10-64 bit support by Intel and Win7-32 both working well, but not usable for Win10 x32, finds no driver.
Luckily I had a Win7x32 installation on another HDD inserted on the PC and searched for the Win10x32 driver there as well and what should I say, found there a singnated driver that works now on Win10x32.
It seems that they provide support for Win7->10 updates but not directly for Win10, refuses everything.
Now my question: how can I save the necessary driver files to make a clean install?
There are vwifibus.sys Netwsn04.sys Netwtn04.sys mentioned in driver details, but cant install with them, there is no .inf with 8265 card only a oem40.inf with 7265 driver.
Card is correctly shown as Intel pro AC 8265 and working with driver version 19.10.10.2, no need for unsigned driver or wrong 7265 driver to use, but I cant get it any more!
Has been found only in Win7 installation, and I dont have this HDD any more.
Driver details from Win7 or 10 x32:
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
16.10.2017
19.10.10.2
Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility
There must be a way to extract the needed drivers/files for Win10x32 from Win7 but dont know how to do ...
I cant believe that I will have to install Win7 prior to a Win10 only to get this wifi driver running.
