Does anyone have Thunderbolt working ona NUC7I5 machine?

[JCahow]

I own two NUCs with Thunderbolt support, a NUC8I5BEH and a NUC7I5BNH.  The NUC8 works just fine with my Razer Thunderbolt eGPU but the NUC7 does not.  They are both running the latest version of Windows 10 Pro.

I previously opened a thread here about the NUC7 but have had no luck following the suggested ideas on how to fix the Thunderbolt problem and they have given up.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-NUCs/Thunderblt-3-Device-not-detected-on-NUC7I5BNH/m-p/1245611/emcs_t/S2h8ZW1haWx8dG9waWNfc3Vic2NyaXB0aW9ufEtKVUZVRzhNN1oxRU9XfDEyNDU2MTF8U1VCU0NSSVBUSU9OU3xoSw#M79961

The NUC7 works just fine for everything but Thunderbolt.

I am unclear what generation NUCs started to have Thunderbolt support but I think it was the NUC7 generation.

I am wondering if Thunderbolt support ever worked correctly on the NUC 7 machines.

It would not be the first time by any means that an initial implementation of a new feature never quite worked right and was fixed in a later version.

Can anyone actually verify that they got a Thunderbolt 3 device to work successfully on a NUCI7 series machine and if so tell me what that device was?

I only have one Thunderbolt device to test with but since it works fine on my NUC8 I would think it should work fine on the NUC7 as well unless there is a bigger problem.

Cant even get the latest driver to install, Not to worried I only have a Display attached via a USB C to HDMI and that works perfectly. I have the pervious TB driver installed but the last one Gets Fatal error.

Tried a few times and the forgot about it.
