    I need help installing Windows 7 on a new-gen PC...


    Hello SevenForums!


    I'm currently trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB with all fixes to fit my new-gen hardware. This includes NVMe drivers, but for now I only succeeded with these, because my motherboard (ASUS Prime Z390-P) appears to support USB 3.1 and all drivers come only with EXE installers, and I can't slipstream them... This also applies to motherboard drivers but about these ones I'm not really sure what to do... Could someone help me out?


    Any help would be much appreciated, TY in advance :)

    According to its support site, the ASUS PRIME Z390-P motherboard supports only 8th and 9th generation Intel processors, and it lists no Windows 7 drivers for its integrated devices.

    If I recall correctly, Windows 7 isn't supported by a motherboard which supports only 8th and 9th generation Intel processors.

    If I'm wrong, someone else here can correct me.

    You are wrong.

    Thanks for the link to the drivers SIW2, I forgot to mention my motherboard apprarently supports USB 3.1 only. Also, when I install drivers to wim files, I still can't use my keyboard/mouse in Windows 7 setup. Any idea on what else could I do?

    I would use boot media that has usb support. Run dism++ from the boot media, and point it at the installed windows partition to install the drivers.

    Here is windows 7 boot media that I think should work for your mobo. I would be pleased if you test it and see. It includes dism++ and other tools

    17514x64v15.iso

    Here is boot media made from windows 10 which should be fine and also includes dism++ and other tools
    183x64.iso

    Best to extract either of the above linked iso file to create bootable usb. You could use usb7ice to create bootable usb from either of the above iso files

    Usb7ice.zip


    OR use ps2 mouse\keyboard to install the drivers ( if you have ps2 port on that mobo)

    SIW2, your WIM doesn't seem to solve it either. Does it have something to do with my UEFI boot settings?


    EDIT: I mean not UEFI boot options, I mean my mobo doesn't have a BIOS, it has UEFI :P

    Did you try the windows 10 based boot media I linked? That should work.

    G1in:

    I have a Z390-E and I've tried just about every driver integration tool to no avail. Most of the time, people offering solutions are recommending drivers that cannot be installed during the installation and the same old message comes up: A required driver is missing.'

    Check this out:
    YouTube

    Once you've seen it all, forget the part about getting the drivers from a site in china, they can be found here:
    Forum - [Solution] Win7 drivers for USB 3.0/3.1 Controllers of new Intel chipset systems

    Once you have the drivers, carry on with the youtube tutorial, it explains how to use NTLite to integrate the drivers.

    When you have the modified installation .iso, you will need to make some changes in the BIOS.

    Here are the BIOS changes I have to make:

    Advanced > USB Config > Legacy ENABLED

    Advanced > PCH Storage Configuration
    SATA Controller(s) Enabled
    SATA Mode Selection AHCI

    Boot > Boot Config
    Fast Boot Disabled

    Boot > CSM (legacy and support)
    Launch CSM ENABLED
    Boot Device Control > Legacy OPROM only
    Network Ignore
    Storage Ignore
    PCI Ignore

    Boot > Secure Boot State > OTHER OS
    Platform Keys Unloaded

    Boot > Key Management > Delete all keys

    Boot > Boot Priority Set Option #1 to the USB containing the modified installation .iso
    Boot device can be checked by restarting and pressing F8 (then you should see the familiar American
    Megatrends BIOS message)

    Boot > Boot Option Priorities Make sure priority is set correctly

    When the installation starts you will have both keyboard and mouse support.

    I'm still having issues but this IS the way to go. I'll work with you if haven't solved it yet, if you have solved it, let me know what you did.
