I have a wdm audio driver that I have built on windows 8.1 (x64). I
use visual studio 2013 and wdk 8.1. It runs successfully on windows
8.1 and 10 but it fails to install on windows 7. When I build the
driver on win 8.1, do I need to make any special configuration for it
to run on win 7 or win 8? I am using the target config win8.1Debug|x64.

You need to use the target config "Win 7 Debug | x64". As a general
rule, you should always target the earliest operating system you need to
support.
