Lets have the API in place already for that. Once this is in a release, we cannot get rid of this API if this ends up not being needed. Since I'm under the impression a libosinfo release is needed very soon, and that there will not be enough time to see if disabling/reenabling driver signing is doable in Win7 or not, I'd prefer we decide on adding this API or not after the win7 research has been done. For what it's worth, the steps described at http://www.howinthetech.com/disabling-digital-driver-signing-in-windows-7/ worked for me to disable driver signing when I tried on win7 64bits bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON I did not try to reenable driver signing after that though.
