![]() ![]() ![]() Once you have downloaded the appropriate exe file you can use WinRAR (or other extraction programs like 7zip) to extract the contents of the EXE into a folder. I'd start with the Windows 7 drivers as that's a descendant of the 2008 software. Which EXE file you should use depends on your OS being 32 or 64 bit. If you're going to install something onto unsupported hardware you're going to have to learn how to do it. This is pretty much the same process you'd use on any kind of motherboard that has chipsets or boards that the install media doesn't support. ![]() Obviously you'd want to avoid reformatting the drive during the install process, otherwise you'd lose the files. Then, once you have it back in the NUC you'd be able to get to them inside that folder. Once you have that drive connected to the PC you'd create a folder on it and put the contents of the zip files into their own folders within it. SATA-to-USB adapters are relatively inexpensive, as are ones that support mSATA. This would mean removing the drive from the NUC and connecting it to the other computer using an appropriate adapter. If you don't have an optical drive then your only other option would be to use another PC and connect the NUC's drive to it. It would depend on whether or not the install had drivers already on it that would support the necessary USB chipset that's present in the NUC. I can't say for certain whether or not a USB drive would be accessible during the install. And optical disc would, of course, require that an optical drive was attached to the NUC prior to the installation. This may be a USB thumb drive or it may require an optical disc (CD or DVD). Then once you've got the files extracted you'll have to put them onto media that the installer can read. Zip files can be extracted on Windows, Linux, Mac, etc. You'll have to use another computer to do this, of course. Download the desired drivers and extract them. The link posted leads to zip files containing the drivers. ![]()
