    H310M question.


    Hello, I'm new here so I hope I won't be breakin' any rules. (I hope my english is not so broken too then you guys can understand me)
    I used the search bar hoping to find some help, got some results but I think I couldn't see anyone with same problem, so I created a thread.

    Note: Please, don't hate me I don't need to use any usb3.0 device so this is where my problem differs from others that I saw over here I think.

    Well, let's begin:

    I'm downgrading from w10 to w7 in my h310m. I just can't stand w10, last update just f***ed up boot and no win 10 fix tools could fix it. I tried so many things even in cmd but didn't work so I tried to do what I should have done from the beginning.

    I installed w7 via ethernet (legacy pxe work like a charm). During setup I used a ps2 keyboard.
    Now the system is installed and upgraded. Drivers were installed too (via DriverPack Solution).
    However I can't use any USB port. And I'm not talking about the 2 x usb3.0 ports that my mobo have.
    I need to enable the common usb2.0 since I just don't use the usb3.0 and sincerely I don't mind if the 3.0 don't work. I only need the usb2.0 working so I can use my common key/mouse and audio interface.

    In Control Panel > Device Manager. USB and PCI Device appears with "/!" and I can only use w7 it with ps2 keyboard using ctrl+shift+numlock to control the mouse arrow with numpad keys.

    As a bonus w7 couldn't recognize my nvme but that's a problem I don't mind at the moment. Maybe later I would, so w7 is installed on ssd.

    I'm posting this in my 2nd pc which is a old workstation with w7 properly installed. (I just love w7).

    I don't know if I'm messing up the bios, I tried every single combination of USB options in Peripherals tab, or if i won't be able to use w7 on that machine
    I really want to use it as a system not vm or emulations. If it's possible.

    The specs of the 310 of my nightmares:

    Mobo: Gigabyte H310M S2P
    proc: i7 8700
    ram: 32GB ddr4
    vga: GTX1050Ti
    storage: nvme 240GB x1; ssd 128GB x1; HD 1TB x2;

    So it's better to send 'em PM? if so no problem I'll try it!

    [EDIT]

    I hope that SIW2 or Megahertz07 can help me, I didn't found the PM button in his profile.

    Haven't heard of that before. I would install the mobo usb3 win7 drivers and see if the ports are backward compatible with usb2devices.

    Okay, but this mobo doesn't have usb3.0 drivers for win7, at least in their official website (gigabyte). So If you have 'em or know where I can get these drivers I'll try this method. I also think that if it's possible to get the usb3.0 drivers I should include them on my pxe instalation drivers directory and maybe the 2.0 can work too. But I have to find the drivers first :/ Sadly the drivers are w10 only in gigabyte website.

    Thanks I'll try 'em after my dinner xD I hope they work! I should try to install them in my actual "no usb working w7" if it doesn't work I should include them in the drivers folder and install a new w7 via PXE with these drivers. Crossing fingers

    SIW2 You deserve THE BEST BEER IN THE WORLD MAN!
    YOU SAVED MY LIFE! GODDAMN! I HAVE NO WORDS!
    Thank you Snick for helping me too!

    Sorry for the emotional writing I'm freaking happy that it works! I installed the drivers SIW2 sent me in my actual w7 'no-usb' and VOILA! It's working! I'll never miss these driver files again! I'll backup it in all of my 6 Storage Drivers and cloud! Thank you very much for your help and support! You are a true hero! I'm gonna fix all the problems with this instalation (the nvme now is the only problem remaining!). My nvme is a chinese "Reeinno" never found drivers of it. But I hope some nvme drivers you have can help me.

    AGAIN! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
