Clean install formated HD of win 10 pro (emty HD no mac OS)

win 10 works fine but PC are missing importent drivers for functionality

Its very difficult to obtain right drivers on Internet also because the internal hardware are not known/specified

Is this a good question?

There is no driver for a mic or headphone connected to a 3.5" audio jack. The device driver is for the audio system that the jack is connected to, not the jack itself. This applies to all computers and operating systems, not just Macs

As you can see from the device tree image you posted, the microphone is recognized as an input device and is technically working properly. However...

You have the wrong TRRS adapter

There are two different TRRS adapters, one for Apple and another for Android (everything else). The difference is the ground and microphone connectors are reversed. The microphone is "seen" because the audio chip senses the resistance and continuity of the completed circuit but it won't work because it's backward.

You need to get a microphone/headphone adapter that is Apple compatible. You can also use a USB DAC with dedicated mic and headphone connectors for better sound and reliability.

I installed windows 1809 since 1903 crashes the laptop and I have everything running well but the sound drivers. I tried the drivers bootcamp downloaded from the mid 2012 but that didn't work so then I tried My sister's newer mackbook air and I've gotten the windows support install from that but still the sound won't work. I also want to know if anyone was able to get their mid 2012 to work with update 1903 or 1909 without getting a blue screen.

Edit: I was finally able to get it to update to 1909 and it's also working fine. Still, no audio. I'm not sure how to get the audio to work.
