Hello,

Try this 1

Connect your external hard drive --> Click on "Start" --> In search bar,

type devmgmt.msc and press Enter. "Device Manager" will be opened.

Is there any yellow mark?

Good Luck

Hello,
Try this 1
1) Right-click on the "Unknown Device" --> Select the option "Update Drivers" and follow the on-screen instructions. Check if it's able to detect the drivers.
2) If the problem still exists then click on the below hyperlink and follow the instructions.

First create a system restore point and then download the hotfix. which is for Windows 7 which has intel platform.
Good Luck
