Do you have plans to update with content from 12/31/20 driver pack?

Thanks for putting this together, do you plan to update for 12/18/20 Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC7i7BNH_Win10-64_Drivers.20201231

I found that for the ethernet one can just manually 'have disc' to the pro set software. it will warn you it isn't tested but works ok, no edits needed.

To my surprise doing a search into the folder structure in that new intel driver pack (Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC7i7BNH_Win10-64_Drivers.2020123) loaded the thunderbolt controller driver - do i need to do more.

still tarting around with the other drivers, will contribute to repo when i have everything installed.

tl;dr i have ethernet and thunderbolt controller loaded without disabling driver signing or modifying drivers.

for wifi. no edit needed just:

hmm may have spoken to fast, while the device is working in device manager and in network control panel, it isn't finding nay networks...

[scyto]

oh i am effing idiot I have a NUC10i7FNH1 like you but downloaded a different pack, ignore me for now (though the thunderbolt driver from the NUC7 pack did load, just need to test if it works i guess.)

[scyto]

ok summary, using https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/188811/Intel-NUC-10-Performance-kit-NUC10i7FNH I managed to get ALL drivers installed except BT PAN with no need to edit any inf files and no need to disable driver signing. I did have to do the manual pathing trick for the NIC, for rest i searched the set of drivers uncompressed. Graphics installed ok, thunderbolt appears to have installed ok (will test devices later).

These are some really helpfull insights, I will check the update procedure on my NUC and will update this repo if everything succeeds

[scyto]

glad i could contribute even if this was a stream of consiousness, i also installed the audio drivers and enabled the audio service

fwiw these are my rough notes

[scyto]

BTW thanks for your reddit article, it is why i took a risk buying two of these a week ago for two hyper-v nodes. I am not sure i want to try these driver shenanigans on hyper-v server so probably will stick with data center and desktop mode.

I created a complete set of instructions, optimized the workflow (no need to download the generic NIC driver pack, it is the bundle). Also added some notes for server core. But as i found hyper-V server and data center only had a memory footprint difference of about 700MB i decided to stick with the GUI version of data center server https://www.reddit.com/r/intelnuc/comments/kp7x5t/windows_server_nuc_nuc10i7fnx_getting_all_drivers/

I even solved the BT PAN because of my OCD (but, like who the fuck uses BT PAN for anything? lol!)

Well written instructions, I will update the repo in time. My vision would be a simple installer script without the need to pull custom drivers from an external repository (like mine). I remember back in the days it was much easier to getting Windows Server on a NUC (NUCi6), just had to manually copy the NIC driver from a thumb drive and the rest could be installed with the (now discontinued) intel driver management toolkit.

Also I just noticed that some drivers (but definitely not all) are getting driver updates through windows updates.

Just a little side note, I actually run hyper-v on 2 NUCS in a cluster (Nuc10i and Nuc6i) and so far I never experienced any problems (running almost a year now). I even got RemoteFX working for some graphical stuff (but that is another story).
