Disable Driver Signing to install Windows 7 drivers

By Peter Bromberg

Sometimes you will have software drivers that will not install because the drivers have not been digitally signed for Windows 7. Here is a workaround.

To disable driver signing, run a Command Prompt as Administrator, and issue the following commands in the DOS window:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

To reverse the above:

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
