Failure of Dell to support 7530 with windows 11 drivers

Can we save Dell from bricking all Precision 7530s?

I was recently forced by MS's win10 deadline to upgrade my E2186/64GB-ECC/P3200 powered 7530 to Windows 11.

Dell doesn't officially support Windows 11 for the 7530, but I saw no reason to brick a perfectly fine device because Dell says so.

First I installed win11pro4ws, but that had severe issues on the 7530. Then, due to having 4 other PCs that I wanted all on the same OS I decided to go win11LTSC(2024), and so for less than AUD500 I got 5 OS + 5 Office PP LTSC licences, including for 2x 7740 Precision laptops. That dropped OneDrive too, beauty!

Seems that with Windows 11, even with LTSC, USB drivers are missing and NO where to be found online. Now I can't use Logitech's Options+ on the 7530 either.

I even have to use a 7740 now, to write this post, as this text box turns black using the 7530 itself. 

Even my near 13yo HP SFF 8300 runs perfectly on LTSC thanks to Rufus.

Can anyone help with this, or suggest how to pressure Dell to properly support their premium devices, as they do with online driver access, for this OS upgrade?

If I can solve this problem for the 7530, all 5 PCs will possibly have their EoLs extended until 2029!

If not, I likely never buy a third new from Dell laptop ever again. Even my Inspiron 7500 from 2000 was able to run for nearly 15 years.
