One would think all manufactures would provide the 3.0 drivers to install 7 until M$ tell them to stop in 2017 I have a Gigabyte Z170X board and Gigabyte provides drivers to install 7, and a guide on how to do it. Microsoft originally stated: but it looks like they will extend that another year. Anything newer will not get Windows 7 support, which I think that means drivers for Kaby Lake and the newer Bristol Ridge processors Now this will be very interesting because the key for secure boot has been leaked, and it might still be possible to hack 7 into a Kaby Lake set up
hmmm....... gave me no problems Installing Windows 7 from a 3.0 usb doesn't require .net. You do not have Windows to install .net from
duh! when you run the gigabyte tool from within windows to create a bootable usb key with the drivers, it will not run unless you have .net 4xx on the system. i did not say windows setup.
The Gigabyte tool needs dotnet 4.+ just ran it on a clean msdn win 7 HP install and it gave the message it needs dotnet4+.
I forgot to make sshots, testing this atm: - Does genuineticket activation still works? YES, second test runs, finished, gatherosstate route still works. - Does MTK activate office 2010? YES - Does MTK activate office 2016 Retail? Testing after first test is finished... Nope, it can't without converting to VL first. Etcetc....
I tried to integrate it only to boot.wim index 2 and guess what, after install I booted into Windows and and I couldn't chose a username because keyboard and mouse was not working, so obv. need to integrate USB3 to install.wim, cuz I had it integrated last time and keyboard and mouse worked fine.
I think they worked fine before and I am speculating of course, when you used motherboards previous 6th gen. systems. Plus I haven't had a chance to grab a 6th one to make some tests. Maybe one of these days. In the meantime I follow your recommendation.
if its a home built pc from retail components, just pop the makers driver disc in(if you have a suitable drive of course) and you wont have to slipstream drivers. this is from another topic somewhere but im buggered if i remember where earlier in this topic knowing my bleeding luck but i cannae be arsed looking
And how would using the CD that came with the motherboard solve the problem? Those CDs contains drivers but they are most likely not bootable so when you are at the setup and you keyboard and mouse is not working, how will you access the CD? Windows will load the CD but you can not press Shift + F10 to bring up CMD so you can access it.
someone somewhere(over the rainbow way up high ) was trying to install w7 onto a b150 chipset board without success. someone suggested popping in the mobo driver disc then running w7 install and it worked. if it works for the boot wim part of the setup then it must work during the install wim part seems like setup automatically scans everywhere for drivers then like it scans for and applies for an unattended file if setting up from dvd and there is a usb key plugged in with that file on. that happened to me once and it puzzled me
