REPOST - Adding all drivers on new OS in 9020

I'm re-posting this because the site has incorrectly labeled it SOLVED, it isn't.

Original post:

I recently bought a used 9020 which had win 10 installed. I prefer win 7 & have loaded that on a 2nd SSD. I have heard there's a "driver pack" I can run to automatically install all the drivers I need for this fresh install of win 7 SP1. Can anyone give me info on where to get & how to run this update pack?

Followup:

I have the pack 9020-WIN7-A13-MH44X.CAB, ran this before on another install, but I can't remember how to get the system to run the CAB & automatically load all the drivers. How is this done? I know it's a cab file, like a zip, and clicking in shows the files, but there are hundreds of them with no indication which is for this particular PC, and almost none are directly executable files. How do I get the system to run 9020-WIN7-A13-MH44X and automatically install the required drivers? If this is not the correct pack, which one is & how do I run it? Thanks!

Thanks redxps630. I ran Simplix (https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/simplix_updatepack.html) & I think it has updated the OS, the problem is getting all the drivers installed. That 9020-WIN7-A13-MH44X.CAB from Dell is supposed to do that (I THINK... ), but I can't figure out how to run it.

You don't run a cab file. You cant use it until you extract the contents.

https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-us/how13982/optiplex-9020-windows-7-driver-cab?lang=en

What you do is download it to your pc then put it into the MY DOCUMENTS FOLDER

https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04897211M/1/9020-WIN7-A13-MH44X.CAB.

Then you download 7zip and install that

Once thats done you go to the my documents folder and Right Click on the cab file and tell it to use 7zip EXTRACT HERE

Any Yellow ! in device manager say Update driver from my pc instead of the internet.

Do that for each yellow ! in device manager.
