By Perry
This shows the step to get rid of given warning message.
Below worked for me.
Commandline:
1. open the commandline with "Run as Administrator"
and excute the following commands:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe
-set TESTSIGNING ON
2. restart your computer
Policy:
1.
Open gpedit.msc
2. Expand User Configuration> Administrative Templates
> System > Driver Installation
3. In the right panel, double click
on ‘Code Signing for Device Drivers’.
4. Choose ‘Enabled’ in the window
that appears. In the underlying options, choose ‘Ignore’. This disables drivers
signing in Windows 7, and now you can install unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
5.
Click Apply, OK. Restart your computer to install unsigned drivers.
