    Hi,

    According this this review:

    Dell XPS 15 (L501X) Laptop Review - Exterior

    the USB3 ports are backwards compatible with USB2. This means you should be able to create a Windows installer on a USB2 thumbdrive.

    Can you try that and let us know?

    Yes. i tried it and didn't work.
    seems like the windows need a driver to completely detect the usb sockets.
    really bad idea that a laptop have only two usb 3 sockets.

    what about i use e-sata port and a pc dvd drive to install windows?

    Hi,

    If you plug your mouse into the USB socket/port, does it work?

    Hi,

    In your BIOS, can you check to see if there is a 'USB Legacy' setting or similar, and make sure it is enabled.
