It gives a warning about not being signed (because I modified file), but I allowed install anyway. I saved file and manually pointed to it again when updating driver. I saw it was in fact using the GT2 driver. It was further down the list in Windows10 section. I then searched the file for the same Hardware ID I just added. Comparing to others, I determined it was the GT2 driver.

There are a couple different drivers assigned to specific devices.

I copied a line from one of the other Windows 7 devices and changed the hardware id to the one on the OptiPlex 5050. I got the hardware ID of the display adapter and added it to the INF file. In it there are different sections that pretty much assign a driver based on display adapters Hardware ID and Windows version. I then opened that INF file in a text editor and looked through it. I found the one that listed multiple devices, but when I selected the correct one (Intel HD 530) and tried to install, it would fail with error say something about being wrong version of Windows. I manually pointer to each setup information INF file to find out which one would work.

I went to device manager and went to update display adapter driver.

I then extracted the video section from the CAB file using 7-zip. You may be able to extract the all the required drivers from the video driver executable, but I didnвЂ™t test it. I downloaded the Windows 7 driver pack from Dell website for the 5040 (in hindsight, the 5050 pack will also work). I noticed it uses the same driver as the 5040, which installs fine in Windows 7. The OptiPlex 5050 video driver does not work in Windows 7. To Get Windows updates working on OptiPlex 5050 in Windows 7, download and install patch created by Zeffy here: I am tired of peopleвЂ™s ignorance being taken advantage of from tech companies using their platforms to steal peoples expected private information. And since updates are mandatory, you may not even know it has happened. Sure there are ways to disable these know privacy exploitations, but if you are not on a domain with active enforcement of policies blocking them, an update can revert them to default. Windows 10 is an improvement over 8/8.1, but the data mining is scary. I will try to stay with Windows 7 as long as possible, in my opinion, it is the last private Windows OS.

Luckily Zeffy has released a patch on Github, to bypass this dishonest scheme. In a shameful attempt to forcibly get users to switch to Windows 10. As you may very well know, Microsoft has blocked support for these in the way of disabling Windows security updates for Windows 7 and 8/8.1. All of our Windows machines on domain use Windows 7. They have the new 7th gen Intel Kaby Lake processors. I figured this out after we purchased 12 Dell OptiPlex 5050 machines. This method should work with bypassing other driver compatibility checks as well. WARNING: MAKE SURE THE DRIVER IS FOR CORRECT HARDWARE BEFORE BYPASSING COMPATIBILITY CHECK.
