I think Dell meant the win10 product key is stored in the motherboard firmware.
AFAIK, there isn't any Dell win 7 Ultimate install media for Skylake. That is why you need to make your own. Start with win7 ultimate media. Extract the iso onto your drive. In the sources folder is boot.wim. It contains 2 images. Use Dism7 tool I posted earlier. Mount boot.wim image 2, then install the updates and drivers I posted. Commit and unmount the image. Mount Install.wim image 4. Install the updates and drivers. Commit and unmount the image. |

Microsoft make a Windows 7 iso with usb 3.0 drivers ?
![]() ![]() Only the board makers have programs to integrate usb 3.0 drivers, such as Asus`s EZ Installer. But if you would just install from a dvd you don`t need it. |

Does or did Microsoft ever make a Windows 7 ultimate ISO with the usb drivers and NVME drivers for install? Or maybe dell? If have a link would very much appreciate. Been looking but only thing official found so far is Dell Windows 7 pro iso with the drivers which does work.
You don`t have a legitimate key, so why bother ![]() |

Anybody can install usb3.0/3.1 drivers with dism . I do it all the time.
Just a matter of finding the right version. Dell skylake machines use the drivers I posted . They also include MS nvme driver, which is in the updates I posted. Not sure it works for all nvme devices, but it is used on at least some Dell machines. In addititon, these may also be useful: NVMe.zip usb.zip INTEL.zip |

No user anywhere has gotten those dvd's to work with their mouse through USB on skylake sadly due to some new form of USB controller intel is using or whatever the tech jargon is but yea it doesnt work at least on certain dell's, maybe its a mobo issue? The discs are not useless for everyone though as you said. They can work under a specific circumstance on skylake systems during install. The problem is that the mouse freezes or keyboard, well the easy way around that is to use a ps/2 port if the computer has one, if not like the 8910 doesnt then were stuck where we are now... ![]() |

*Only error encountered is with a driver installation for the "Intel Serial IO driver" upon installation shows the error, "This platform is not supported". Do I need this driver?
*Installed a driver for windows 7 from here: Download Proc IO: Intel Processor IO Controller Driver for Windows 7 (Weirdly it asked me to connect my hardware after installation, so not sure if that is what I wanted or not.) *Checking device manager there are no "!" present. *All other 8910 drivers installed successfully. |
