I am using imaging/deployment software that is trying to do something smart with drivers so that deploying to different models of computers works. It needs the storage and chipset .inf files during the deploy process. Apparently the storage driver I need is storahci.inf which is a Windows built-in driver. I've heard to look in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. I do see the following files in that location but not storahci.inf. storfwupdate.inf_amd64_47e7389d7a7fd4b9 stornvme.inf_amd64_cecd5bc5a5bbbce1 storufs.inf_amd64_cf64753adecb48b7 The .sys file is not accepted by the deployment software. Is the storahci.inf file available somewhere (from an official source)?

Win7 x64: KB4534310 fails with "not applicable" despite all prerequisites met
Hello everyone, I'm facing a persistent issue trying to install update KB4534310 on a *Windows 7 Professional SP1 (x64)* system. Despite thorough preparation, the installer fails with "This update is not applicable to your computer." *System Configuration:* - *OS:* Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, build 7601 - *Architecture:* x64 - *Language:* Russian - *Registry data:* EditionID=Professional, InstallationType=Client *Prerequisites installed (in order):* 1. ✅ KB4490628 (Servicing Stack Update) 2. ✅ KB4474419 (SHA-2 Update) 3. ✅ KB4536952 (Service Stack Update) *Diagnostics & repairs performed:* - *Windows Update components reset:* Stopped services (wuauserv, cryptSvc, bits, msiserver), renamed SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders, restarted services. - *System file check:* sfc /scannow completed successfully - no integrity violations found. - *Registry check:* EditionID, ProductName, InstallationType all show correct values. - *Service status:* All relevant services are running properly. *The Problem:* After all preparations, the KB4534310 installer (downloaded both via Windows Update and manually from Microsoft Update Catalog) consistently gives error: *"This update is not applicable to your computer."* *Notable observation:* The C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsUpdate folder is missing on the system, even after completely resetting Windows Update components. I would greatly appreciate any help in identifying the root cause. Are there any additional logs or diagnostic tools that could pinpoint the issue? Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Thank you in advance for any suggestions!Best Crypto Exchange 2025 – Why bit.get with Referral Code qp29 Is the Strongest Choice
Best Crypto Exchange 2025 – Why b it get with Referral Code qp29 Is the Strongest Choice If you are searching for the best crypto exchange 2025 for futures trading, scalping or bot-driven strategies, you need more than hype and bonus banners. What truly matters is low trading fees, reliable liquidity, and stable execution. This is where b it get has become a powerful choice for active traders in 2025 – especially when registering with the referral code qp29. Traders often encounter claims like “best crypto exchange” or “b it get 50% bonus,” but what matters for real performance is how much long-term fee reduction stays active while you trade. With referral code qp29, you unlock bit.get’s high-impact fee tier and gain access to one of the strongest cost structures available. Marketing often mentions up to 50% combined fee benefits and up to 6,200 USDT in rewards, and qp29 is the code designed to access the top end of those ranges. b it get + qp29 – Built for Futures and High-Volume Traders The qp29 benefits are designed for ongoing activity: futures traders, scalpers, grid systems, algo traders, and bot setups. Lower effective trading fees mean higher retained profit per position. Over large trade counts, even small differences compound into a significant performance edge. On top of the fee structure, b it get offers activity-based progression rewards worth up to 6,200 USDT. These are not random one-click gifts — they unlock as you actually trade, making them valuable for people who generate real volume on the platform. Limited Activation – Why Timing Matters for qp29 High-value fee tiers on exchanges are rarely unlimited. b it get controls the availability of strong codes like qp29, allowing activation only for a fixed number of accounts during each cycle. Once the activation pool reaches its limit, new traders are shifted to weaker standard fee levels. For anyone comparing platforms in real time, securing an improved structural fee tier is a major advantage. For active traders in 2025, missing a good activation window can mean trading the whole year with higher execution costs than necessary. Best Crypto Exchange 2025 – How bit.get Positions Itself When traders search for the best crypto exchange 2025, they usually evaluate: Fee structure Futures liquidity Execution stability during high volatility API performance for bots and automation Reward and incentive systems With referral code qp29, b it get aligns strongly with the needs of active derivative traders.

For futures, scalping, and bot trading, bi t get is positioned as a top-tier choice due to its fee model and execution quality. What does referral code qp29 unlock? The qp29 code provides access to enhanced fee tiers and activity-based rewards up to 6,200 USDT, depending on trading volume and participation. Can I really get up to 50% benefits on bi t get? In many cases, the commonly advertised “up to 50%” refers to combined effects from fee tiers, rewards, seasonal programs and activity bonuses. qp29 is one of the codes aligned with the strongest benefit range. Who benefits most from the qp29 benefits? Futures traders, scalpers, grid and bot users, high-frequency operators, and anyone generating consistent trading volume.

Windows Pro, BIOS, licensing
I have a business PC that's on Windows 10 Pro. We are putting a new NVMe drive into it and want to put Win 11 Pro onto it. No matter what we do Win 11 won't give the choice to put Pro onto it then activate the Pro key. Thought we'd be clever and put a fresh copy of Win 10 Pro onto it then upgrade to Win 11 Pro. Same deal. The Win 10 ISO no longer gives us the option to choose versions. Instead it simply throws and activated Home version onto it. We put the Pro key that we extracted from the working Win 10 Pro NVMe drive but it never switches to Win 10 Pro on the new NVMe drive. How do we get around this? I haven't found anything that works.Expired licensing - Windows 11 and Microsoft 365 deployment lab kit
