For a couple of days, I've been watch your language with windows trying to install the win7 on the H310 coffee lake motherboard.I know it does not support WIN 7 but I see a lot of people by foreign forums have it installed.So I download ISO file, I make a bootable disk with Rufus, reset PC.The keyboard and mouse work only in the first part of the WIN installation, ie. On the one through USB and when they switch to the HDD, mouse and the keyboard does not respond.I took the USB to the PS2 connector but did not even help, but I still have to try the PS2 keyboard when I will get it.In the bios, I have set the compatibility mode for the 'other windows' since there is only for WIN 8.1 and 10.Legacy USB is enabled so I really do not know what the problem is.Any help is welcomeEDIT:The motherboard is Gigabyte H310M DS2. First off, please watch the language.Chipsets post Skylake removed USB2.0 native support, and W7 did not natively incorporate USB3.0 in any base installation media.You'd need to slipstream those in.While it's a Gigabyte tool, it shouldn't matter the vendor - you're installing 'generic' 3.0 drivers.While yes, it's far from optimal. It can at least be 'installed'. I wouldn't recommend actually using it though - driver support is just not there.Also, where did you acquire your W7 ISO? I don't believe MS offer it anymore, so be careful there too!

MS still offers for Retail copies only - not OEM.So, depending on the type of license the OP has, they may/may not be able to download from MS directly.Again, to stress the point; this is highly unlikely to be a pleasant experience with W7 on KL either way, even with USB3.0 drivers.I downloaded it from Piratebay and I burned WIN7 to CD.I don't know why it isn't workingBTW the disc is working because I installed WIN7 again from CD but sadly the keyboard and mouse doesn't work.Is this gigabyte usb tool broken or what?

For product support, contact the manufacturer of your PC, Do not lend or make illegal copies'I have 5 32 bit and 8 64 bit, 12 are just a gray disc and have service pack 1 on then, 1 doesnt have any service packs and has a window hologragh around the outside with a white center. All of those keys work with windows ISO download.
I tried a dell key and it gave an error saying to contact the manufacture. Is this gigabyte usb tool broken or what?Not necessarily - it may well have a built-in 'checker' of sorts, and it's determining the file you have is not a legit W7 ISO.Downloading from sources, such as the PirateBay can be risky.
Windows 7 Starter Download
Windows 7 ISO To USB Bootable Software based on the app's rating, number of users, and a number of other parameters closely linked to user s. Simply download a Windows 7 ISO file or disc image and then create a USB or DVD for installation. Your product key is located inside the box that the Windows DVD came in, on the DVD or in a confirmation e-mail that shows you purchased Windows. After the product key is verified, select a product language from the menu.
Those ISOs may well have been modified with something malicious.At the end of the day, nobody (typically) provides anything for free. There's really no way to know that the source file was legit and safe.I'm not going to link it here as it's not an official source, but Digital River used to be the official place for Windows ISOs.No longer an active source, but there may or may not be a 'Digital River Mirror' hosted on a Germany (.de) domain containing Windows 7 ISOs.

Out of curiosity. Why are you so adamant on Windows 7? Opposed to, say, Windows 10? Which you can easily acquire, use a USB flash drive to install, have driver support for your hardware and can run unactivated?The answer is simple.RAZER,razer,Razer.I don't know why but Headset Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 has much more better quality and stronger bass on WIN7.On WIN10 the sound of Razer Kraken has worse quality than WIN7.I even contacted Razer and Microsoft support and they also didn't know why I have that problem.Just so you know I tested the Razer Man o War headset and had the same problem.Thats why I want to be on Windows 7 because audio is the most important thing to me.
Hey guys,a couple of days ago, I completed my first pc build, which I'm quite happy about. Unfortunately though, not everything's working yet. The thing which I still can't get to work is Windows 7. But let me start from the beginning.The Computer is set up as dual boot (Win7 Pro x64 + Ubuntu) which - itself - works pretty well. As I've installed them on different SSDs, I can even choose between in the BIOS-Menu so no need to worry about Grub / MBR etc.Ubuntu works fine all the way, as I'm used to with other Linux OSs I had in the past years. Windows does not.Win7 is booting fine, but as it is loading, shortly before the login screen appears, the keyboard & mouse - probably all peripheral devices connected via USB - are turned off and don't work anymore. This happens about 29 out of 30 times I boot.
Why it sometimes - very rarely - doesn't happen, I can't figure this out. Hi silofonariOnce you were done installing Windows, did you install all the required drivers? Mainly the USB 3.0 and Chipset drivers for your motherboard?Your motherboard drivers can be found there:Well, I wasn't really aware of this since I hardly used anything but Linux in the last 10 years.Which ones do I need to install?It still makes me wonder how it can work without them from time to time then.ThxWe'll take a lookClick on the Windows Start Menu, then right-click on Computer and select 'Properties'. From there, in the left-pane, click on 'Device Manager'.
Can you tell me the name of the devices listed under 'Missing/Unknown Devices'? Hi silofonariOnce you were done installing Windows, did you install all the required drivers?

From there, in the left-pane, click on 'Device Manager'. Can you tell me the name of the devices listed under 'Missing/Unknown Devices'?Oh that's so kind of you,in fact, there's no entry for 'missing / unknown devices' (or what this translates to, since I'm from Germany).
The only thing I could find was 'other devices'. There are three entries listed below that: PCI communication controller (simple), SM-Bus-Controller and USB Controler. Unfortunately, neither of their drivers could be updated automatically. I just downloaded the Hotfix package, did you run the MSuSetup.exe or Setup.msu?I can't really remember, but as I tried again right now (with both of them), it told me that they were already installed and everything was fine. Strangely.Anyway, its only SM-Bus controller which is left on the list of unknown devices now (after reboot, even though I wasn't asked for that). Any suggestions?.Edit.Oh yeah and one more thing: I now get asked every time on startup whether I want to run the usb3-thing I just installed.
Whether I click 'run' or 'abort' doesn't seem to make any difference though; and it's pretty annoying tooEdited by silofonari, 29 October 2014 - 04:31 PM. Gday.Hope you don't mind another oar in the water.Win7 is booting fine, but as it is loading, shortly before the login screen appears, the keyboard & mouse - probably all peripheral devices connected via USB - are turned off and don't work anymore.I suspect a wrong setting in the EFI/BIOS.

Gday.Thanks for the update.As you are using two seperate drives, there should be no conflicts/corruption with a boot manager, so strange that when both diskx connected, Windows fails.Please try the steps in reply #13 and post the result.Re. You would need windows runninginsert the CD, it should Auto runselect Custom Installselect driversselect Allinstall.When they are installed you will return to the install screen againselect Utilities (possible software as well), select the ones you want. I would not install the trial or free software.When installation is completeclick the Finish buttonreboot the system.
