    Answered in the Simplix thread, either use the updatepack or use the driver manually, as described at the OP of this thread.

    It worked ! ! !

    Thanks so much! The Dell/Intel USB drivers for the Optiplex 7050 are a known conundrum, so it's a relief to have such a quick and easy solution.

    So I now have UEFI + Secure Boot. Accomplished via Win 10 bootloader and cheap graphics card supported by Win 8.1 drivers.

    I haven't tried UEFISeven, yet, because I still need to learn about key tools to allow a modified boot system to secure-boot in Dell's BIOS.

    How to install the driver files, just throw them in to system 32 or sys32/drivers?

    I am trying to installing from bootable Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate using Asus Tuf Gaming Plus B550 with Ryzen 3700x and it boot up Windows 7 but the keyboard and mouse don't work at all. How to to add Windows 7 USB keyboard and mouse driver slipstream with Windows 7? As Asus don't support anything from Windows 7/8. Only windows 10 and 11.
