XP x64 won't connect to the internet via USB tethering - help!

Unread post by Win10-Hater »

Hello all, I have dualbooted the Windows Vista install on my main laptop (Dell e5420) with Windows XP Pro x64 with Vista installed first. I repaired the bootloader and was going to install drivers for the hardware via Driver Booster, so I connected my phone to the laptop via USB tethering. The phone gets recognised but Windows says that it does not have the drivers for it, so now I can't connect to the internet and install some missing drivers.

NOTE: I installed XP x64 via a Kingston DataTraveler SE9 USB 2.0 flash drive, with the help of WinSetupfromUSB. I used win32's updated ISO for the same.

A Redmi 4. I'm not rich enough to own any Apple mobile device, though I don't consider having one really great, lol.

You need to install the Remote NDIS driver in order to get USB tethering working: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4o0HezwLvz-ZHBLZ0tzLVVydVE/view. It should work on XP x64.

Did not work. I tried installing the inf file through right-click method and via Device Manager, but USB tethering still is not possible.

Looked up the Redmi 4, and I can agree, he would have been better off with a used flagship.
