I have Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) & Hyper V where Windows 7 (32 bit) is installed as a client.
There are some strange unknown devices shown in Dev Mgr for Windows 7 (pls check attachment).
Where do they come from ?

Those are one Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System driver and rest of them Virtual Machine Bus drivers, they need no drivers and can (should) remain marked with a question mark or exclamation point in Hyper-V virtual machine's Device Manager.

The Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System driver (highlighted yellow) is just a virtual device checking the generation of the vm (Windows 7 guest can only be Gen. 1):

The Virtual Machine Bus drivers are taking care of communications between the guest and host. All these drivers are marked with a question mark or exclamation point because the devices themselves are on host, not in guest and the vm is a bit "confused" about this :).

Those drivers should not be updated, just ignore them.

Du är välkommen, det var ju inget :).
