Raspberry Pi Pico - no RP2 Boot driver, how to install on Windows 7x64?

When Raspberry Pi Pico is connected to Windows 7 x64, the RP2 Boot
device appears in the device manager. The device announces itself in the device manager as:
RP2 Boot
USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0003&REV_0100&MI_01
USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0003&MI_01\6&22BBAD76&0&0001

There is no other useful information from the device itself.

By default, there is no driver for the device in the system; a working solution could not be found on the Internet. The maximum that I found out is that this is a Serial adapter using the usbser.sys driver file, which is originally present in the system, and now is in the folder: C:\Windows\System32\drivers

I found out that you can use the inf file from ATMEL, Inc.

Added lines:

[DeviceList] 
%PI_CDC_PICO%=DriverInstall, USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0005&MI_00
[DeviceList.NTAMD64]
%PI_CDC_PICO%=DriverInstall, USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0005&MI_00 
[DeviceList.NTIA64]
%PI_CDC_PICO%=DriverInstall, USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0005&MI_00 
[DeviceList.NT]
%PI_CDC_PICO%=DriverInstall, USB\VID_2E8A&PID_0005&MI_00
[Strings] 
Manufacturer = "ATMEL, Inc." 
PI_CDC_PICO = "Pi Pico Serial Port" 
Serial.SvcDesc = "Pi Pico Serial Driver"

Then I mocked the operating system in different ways: I tried to put it on the forehead via PCM-install - I got that this type of installation is not supported, I tried to put it on the device itself through the manager - I got a message that the driver does not fit, tried to manually select the driver from the list of already installed drivers with the command pnputil -a "file.inf" - in this case, although the driver clung, the device could not be started (code 52)

In general, nothing helped, from the listed attempts.
Does anyone know what driver is needed for the Raspberry Pi Pico to connect it with Win7x64 as a COM device? Or if the driver is the same, then how to install it correctly?
Thanks in advance.
