Mr Jones,
I recently came across your excellent 2010 blog entry, https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/04/30/tip-install-a-device-driver-in-a-windo.... The blog entry was incredibly useful for Win7. I was wondering if you have any similar insights for Win10? The CDDB is gone, and it's replacement, or partial replacement, the DeviceDriver database, doesn't seem to serve a similar purpose.
My problem is this: I have a Win10 installation that was installed natively onto physical media using the standard Intel storage drivers. In short, I want to do precisely that you detailed in your 2010 entry under Win10; I want to boot that native installation using the current RedHat viostor driver. Win10 keeps hitting me with an 0x7B error, and it's rather difficult to get into debugger mode. If I install Win7 and then try booting Win7 using viostor as you detailed, it works perfectly. Win10 does not. Any insights?
