Have you tried uncompressing and using device manager to manually update the drivers?

no, now it says windows was unable to install the driver, Now I'm thinking that maybe I have a bad windows installation
Microsoft's AHCI drivers work just fine.
I use DIPM for my NGFF M.2 SSD located beneath my motherboard, without DIPM I don't like the idle temps I was getting; will be getting a low-profile NGFF heatsink.
I comment to that on Intel AHCI drivers vs Microsoft's AHCI driver but that last AMD board I had which was an Phenom II made almost no difference between Microsoft's AHCI and AMD's AHCI drivers, in fact the AMD ones gave much more problems with newly released Windows 7 back then.
The only thing I can see AMD AHCI driver doing better than Microsoft AHCI driver in the case for Ryzen boards in it'll probably use less CPU cycles and have DIPM enabled by default regardless of which Power Plan you choose in Windows 10.
