Has your pride been hurt? C'mon, don't take it personally there's NO need to get worked up. Once you begin to understand what INF files are and what they do, come back and discuss. Note that no support is offered for Windows. Let me summarize: telling Windows HOW to install the driver is vastly different from telling Windows HOW to perform using the driver (which in this case the driver 1.0.6.245 is made for use under Windows 7, as per Intel's statement). The Setup.exe will install USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller, Root Hub and Host Controller Switch driver, as well as the USB 3.0 Monitor application. ![]() What these changes do is add in the IntelAMD64.6.2 section into the driver INFs (the files that tells Windows HOW to install the driver). You yourself said so and I quote (as follows): The screenshot does NOT tell us that the 1.0.6.245 version performes as a native USB 3.0 driver under Windows 8. To ensure the integrity of your download, please verify the checksum value. Follow the instructions to complete the installation. Download the file to a folder on your hard drive, and then run (double-click) it to unzip the set of files. That is the cosmetic change that I was referring to in my earlier post. This file contains a compressed (or zipped) set of files. The screenshot that you posted only tells us that the driver provider's name is now Intel (R) Corporation and not Microsoft (R) Corporation. ![]() Intel specifically stated that 1.0.6.245 is made for Windows 7 and its versions. ![]() In fact, here is a screenshot of my driver details using the current Intel 1.0.6.245 release under Windows 8.
