Need compatible drivers for my system, my driver fails to load

Help

Hi there!
I recently wanted to install Windows 7/8.1 on my modern laptop however attempt of Windows 7 failed, so I decided to use Windows 8.1 since it works natively on my class-3 UEFI device. However I'm missing a couple drivers, and would love if someone could help me.

​

Here are my specs:
ASUS TUF Gaming F15 FX506LI-FX566LI (2020)
Core i7-10870H
GTX 1650 Ti
UHD 630 iGPU
Windows Precision Touchpad
ASUS Control Interface v3
Intel WiFi 6-AX201
Bluetooth 5

My Discord is Artisary#0001 if someone feels comfortable to help me there.

Thanks!

Did you try Snappy driver Installer?

Yes, but it didn't install those drivers that I'm showing in device manager.

i am unsure about the other hardware, but to my knowledge Intel AX200/201 chips require Win10 or Linux. i am also a user/support for several Win 8.1 systems and cannot get AX drivers for 8.1. I also know the drivers for Intel 630 graphics does have a workaround but it is non-trivial.

Yeah you would need to swap out the wifi adapter for one that's compatible with 8.1.

Have you tried the Windows 7 driver for the 1650ti?

Well, it didn't work. it just said "This driver isn't compatible with your system since we couldn't find compatible hardware".

Like wtf :/

Not sure you're still looking for drivers but... I rebuilt a Surface Pro 3 a couple of weeks ago and found this driver download. Don't pay attention to the name- it resolved about half a dozen unknown devices in Device Manager for me. Maybe it will help you.
