@PeterOz Perhaps this device list will help...

If all else fails, then this tool may do what is needed, then again it certainly could install the wrong drivers, I have used it in the past with good results, this type of software I usually do not suggest, but in this case it may be needed. Just make sure and create a restore point prior to using, and you will need a working internet connection on the machine to use it.


Please allow peteroz to see if he can find the drivers you need before using this software.

 
I managed to choose the .inf file from the driver folder and get it in through “have disk” but there are loads of them. Which to pick? Also, I got warned when I tried to proceed. Should I proceed?
