Content Type: Compatibility   |   Article ID: 000005519   |   Last Reviewed: 02/12/2025
NOTICE Release 25.0 is the last release to support Windows* 7 and Windows Server 2008 R.2.

Final software (SW) release for Windows 7

For Windows* 7, Intel® Ethernet Adapters can have full support, in-box only support, or both.

  1. In-box
    • In-box means the drivers are supplied with Windows*.
    • Driver and software updates aren't available for adapters that are in-box only.
    • You might be able to add an adapter with in-box support to a team using multivendor teaming (MVT).
    • Not included with in-box support:
      • Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager
      • Intel® Advanced Network Services (Intel® ANS) driver for teaming and VLANS
  2. Retail
    • These adapters have Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager and Intel ANS (teaming and VLAN).
