Disable Driver Signing.

Follow these steps to disable driver signing using the Group Policy Editor.

  • Hit the Win+R keys together to open the run dialog. Type gpedit.msc to open the local groups policy editor.

  • Expand ‘Administrative Templates’ (it’s under ‘User Configuration’). Expand ‘System’. Click ‘Driver Installation’.

  • In the right panel, double click on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’.

  • Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window that appears. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’. This disables drivers signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.

  • Click Apply.Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers.
