Windows 10: Help with Intel series 7 SATA AHCI Controller Drive for windows 10

Hi, bit of a long shot, not sure if anyone will be able to help me.

I remember a good few years back i would always use the latest SATA or matrix / RST drivers and would always update them regularly, I’m pretty sure i have had newer drivers on my laptop in the past than what i have now, i cannot find any though, every time i try to install any of the above they always say not supported on my laptop, the drivers that are currently installed are:

Driver Version: 11.0.0.1032

Date: 29.11.2011

They are very old and would like to be able to use any newer ones that would benefit me, the rest of my laptop is up to date, just not that.

Even when i run Intel software update utility it finds nothing new for it.

My laptop is Lenovo Edge E530.

I am running windows 10 64 Bit Pro

If anyone can help at all that would be great.

Regards

James

DVD Drive shows as "Unknown device" in Device Manager

The Hardware Ids indicate the device is a "Intel(R) 8 Series/C220 Series SATA AHCI Controller".

If you can update the "Standard SATA AHCI Controller" to the Intel SATA AHCI Controller it may help the DVD drive to be properly recognized in the Device Manager.

Can you run the following utility from Intel and see if it picks up a driver update for the Intel SATA AHCI controller:

Intel® Driver & Support Assistant

Post back no driver update is detected.

"Intel(R) 7 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller"

 

Intel RST v11.2.0.1006 WHQL are still recommended for older systems but I use 12.9.4.1000 (X99) or 11.7.4.1001 (X58) as seen at the bottom of the 1st post of this Thread on WinRaid ...

12.9.4.1000 for the Mobile 7 series ........ drivers are available there too.
