No, this is official Lenevo, meaning, run the executable, it will ask you for a folder to extract the files. Final screen says if you want to install the driver (but you're on a spare machine obviously), so uncheck the box.
Then navigate to that folder, and the driver will be in one of the folders (Win7x64, if you want it for Windows 7 64 bits).
Content will be 1 x cat, 2 x sys, 1 x inf file.
so if i want i can copy the whole folder with x86, x64 etc and put it on the usb where i have universal restore and it will search and automatically install the correct driver??

I copied the whole folder and universal restore still tells me the driver is missing so I guess that lenovo one can't work
If Secure Boot is enabled on the laptop, you'll need to disable it; then you'll be able to boot.
Despite the dire warnings you may see when you disable it, this will NOT cause any boot issues with the OS.
If there's not a Secure Boot option, then that's not the case. If there is, it may be on a "Security" tab or in the boot options section. On some systems you'll see this by enabling "legacy boot mode".
Yes, I know it's a chipset driver. But if you set the SATA mode to IDE then the AHCI drivers won't be a factor in the boot process.
