You will have lots of manual digging to find the right drivers and will likely need to edit inf files.

The API/ABI for drivers didn't change between 7,8,10

I'm speaking of Windows drivers in general. I can't make any specific guarantees for these particular drivers, but I don't see why they should be different.
