#Osrloader for windows 7 drivers#

Windows Server vNext will only load portal-signed drivers that have successfully passed the HLK tests.

Submitting a package for HLK certification requires the use of an EV certificate.

A portal-signed driver that passes HLK tests will work on Windows 7 through Windows 10.A portal-signed driver using attestation signing (which requires an EV certificate) will only work on Windows 10, unless also signed with an additional valid certificate and cross-signed according to the pre-Windows 10 KMCS procedure.If the signature was not timestamped, the driver will not work after the certificate expires. A driver signed with any certificate that expires after the 29th of July will work on Windows 10, assuming that the signature was timestamped at the time of signing.A driver signed with any certificate issued after the 29th of July wonвЂ™t work on Windows 10, unless the driver is signed with a Microsoft signature available through the SysDev portal.It wonвЂ™t work on Windows Vista / Server 2008 though.

A driver signed with a SHA-2 certificate (including an EV certificate) issued prior to the 29th of July, and cross-signed according to the pre-Windows 10 KMCS procedure, will work on Windows 8 and above, and will work on Windows 7 / Server 2008R2 if the patch issued through Windows Update earlier this year has been applied.

This enterprise-defined policy may be configured to require at least an attestation-signed driver.

This is, however, subject to configuration an enterprise-defined code integrity policy that is part of Device Guard (available on Windows 10 Enterprise edition only).

A driver signed with the standard SHA-1 certificate issued prior to the 29th of July 2015 and correctly cross-signed according to the pre-Windows 10 KMCS procedures, will work on all platforms Vista through to 10.

MurrayвЂ™s Q&A, the community devised the following seven rules about Windows 10 driver signing: Murray, Windows Server vNext will only load drivers that have passed HLK testing (formerly known as Certification testing or WHQL testing) and have obtained the appropriate signature from the SysDev portal.Д«ased on the information we learned from Mr. One really important thing to note is, according to my discussion with Mr. This gives driver developers some вЂњbreathing roomвЂќ to adjust to the new policy. WhatвЂ™s the exception case? The exception is that Windows 10 Client (not server) systems will load drivers that have been properly signed and cross-signed using the pre-Windows 10 KMCS procedure if the certificate used to sign those drivers was issued prior to the release of Windows 10.

So, aside from the exception case, drivers for Windows 10 must have a Microsoft signature obtained through the SysDev portal.

This procedure is called вЂњattestation signingвЂќ because when you upload you declare (that is вЂњattestвЂќ) that youвЂ™ve tested the driver, will monitor sysdev for driver problems, and will fix any issues that are reported. You just need to sign your driver package appropriately, agree to some conditions, and submit your package to Microsoft via SysDev for signature. You do not need to run or pass any Microsoft certification, logo, or compatibility tests. To get that signature, you have to sign a submission using an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificate and upload your driver package to the Microsoft SysDev portal. Let me try to provide you a quick summary of whatвЂ™s changing, because you definitely will care: The big news is that, aside from a short-term exception, a Microsoft signature is required by Windows 10 to load kernel-mode drivers. In that blog post, Microsoft program manager James Murray answers questions from the community on how the Windows 10 driver signing process will work. ThereвЂ™s been an ongoing thread on NTDEV about this topic for more than a month now that has led to some very good information being collected and discussed by the Driver Development Community.ДЇor all the details, youвЂ™ll need to read my blog post from the end of July entitled Questions and Answers: Windows 10 Driver Signing. In case youвЂ™ve been busy worrying about writing code for existing projects and stuff, let me call your attention to some big changes in the realm of driver signing that start with Windows 10.
