Are drivers from Windows 7 (wdk 7) suitable for Windows 10?
Good afternoon,
there is a driver that works with custom hardware. I build it on Windows 7 using Windows Driver Kits 7600.
It works great on Windows 7.
There were customers who have Windows 10 installed. Without rebuilding the driver for Windows 10, I tested its work.
The driver installs without problems. WinObj shows that the device has appeared in the OS.
But, any program that previously worked on Windows 7 cannot open the device either when the program is launched as an administrator, or otherwise. If I debug the program in the QT development environment, then when passing the CreateFile function, I fly into a blue screen.
I downloaded WindowsDriverKit 10, but due to the fact that the small-software built it into VisualStudio 15, there is no way to rebuild the driver in 5 minutes. You need to create a project and transfer all existing functionality to it.
Accordingly, the question is, has anyone run drivers that work with hardware and are assembled in WDK 7 in Windows 10?
Are they working correctly?
Are there any new tricks in Win10 when working with hardware (I remember in XP any mortal could work with iron, Win7 already required either running the application as administrator or lowering UAC settings to a minimum)?
Thank you.
