Where Can I Get Drivers For Windows Vista x64 For A Dell Inspiron 5570 With Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 And Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 Both 8th Generation And Others Because Windows Vista Is Not Officially Supported?

Specifications For Inspiron 5570:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz (shows up on device manager so i don't think i need driver for that)

Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 (need driver for that)

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 (need driver for that)

1 TB SSD (it automatically got driver for it so it works fine)

12 GB RAM/Memory (it automatically got driver for it so it works fine)

Laptop

Intel(R) ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID Controller (it automatically got driver for it so it works fine)

Intel Wireless Bluetooth (Need driver for that)

Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller (got driver for that)

Intel(R) Display Audio (it automatically got driver for it so it works fine)

DVD Drive (it automatically got driver for it so it works fine)

Touchscreen (need driver for that)

If i get the WiFi driver working then i could use one of the driver updater/downloader to get the rest of the drivers. I tried a couple of offline driver updater but the gave either the wrong driver or one for a newer operating system. I tried driver for windows 7 and up but they didn't work. i even opened some of the driver for windows 7 and up with 7zip and manually install them with device manager but they also didn't work. USB ports don't work so i use the windows 7 partition to get driver to try an then reboot to the windows vista partition and try to use them, that's my only method of transporting file to it. DOES ANYONE HAVE A MODDED DRIVER OR A METHOD TO WORK AROUND TO GET THOSE PESKY DRIVERS?!

    An older OS is simply not suitable for that Dell model number.

    And i strongly advise you not to use Vista at all as Support for Vista ended in 2017.

    You are risking the security of your computer by using Vista on it.

    i have windows Vista, 7, 8.1, 10, 11 on partitions and i have drivers for all but Windows vista. the reason i want to run vista is for fun/experimenting Plus its pretty and works just as fast as windows 7 with service-pack 1 & 2 & Microsoft .net runtime 4.6 (even though it has no graphics driver)!!!!!

    Its probably a proprietary driver. At least on Linux I know that there are people who find various ways of working around old drivers and getting them to work on newer OS versions. The opposite way would potentially be far less likely as the older OS may not contain the necessary dependencies or APIs or whatever it be.

    In my opinion, it would be better to buy a wifi usb adapter compatible with Windows Vista even if its used or just go some other route such as using Vista in a VM so that the modern day base OS has the hardware drivers and the VM if working properly hooks into that so it has internet just like that. That was one long sentence lol. The VM way is really the only practical way to go if you want to use newer hardware.

    Dell supplies the drivers for the hardware in their products.

    You are out of luck as they only support Windows 10 and 11 on that Model.

    You don't realise manufacturers don't write drivers for you to install older operating systems on their newly designed machines.

    Look at or ask at the individual hardware manufacturer's websites
