: Custom Windows 7 x64 Driver Mod for AMD Radeon R5 (Dell Inspiron 11 3185 - A9-9420e

Hi everyone,

I am trying to run Windows 7 64-bit on my Dell Inspiron 11 3185 laptop with the AMD A9-9420e APU (Radeon R5 Graphics, Stoney Ridge architecture).

  • Hardware ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_98E4&SUBSYS_087F1028

  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit (SP1 with SHA-2 updates installed)

What I’ve Tried:

  • Official AMD packages fail to detect/install the hardware natively because DEV_98E4 is omitted from Windows 7 64-bit INF files.

  • I tried manually editing the 64-bit INF file under [ATI.Mfg.NTamd64.6.1] to add DEV_98E4, but Device Manager fails to recognize or match the driver (setupapi.dev.log doesn’t pick up the ID match).

What I Need: Could someone experienced with AMD INF modding help create or patch a functional 64-bit Windows 7 INF (or modified Dell package) for DEV_98E4 / Stoney Ridge? A modified Dell package (based on driver build 16.40.2301 or 17.x) that includes the correct binding directives and display services for this specific APU would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
