Installing drivers on Win 7 from outside logging in?

[Epicity]

Is there a way to install drivers from outside windows 7. I installed a new mobo and now my mouse and keyboard don't work but I have access to my dual boot win 10.


Is there a way to install the drivers for Win7 from Win10? Or do I need to get a USB to PS2 adapter which apparently bypasses any drivers.

It is possible to do this from the Installation media, going into the command prompt and running various commands at the DOS PromptCommand . I believe there is a Tutorial in the Installation tutorials section, (which I will continue to search for)

However this is never a simple task and your suggestion of an USB to PS/2 adaptor sounds like it would be a lot easier assuming you have a suitable system setup and hardware to work with - there is a pop up keyboard available so you should only need a single port for the Mouse.

Edit

Command Prompt at Startup should help you to get in using the install Media

Hello Epicity

The documentation for installing device drivers from another Windows computer, is included in a link at the bottom of this post. The command you'll need to use is called DISM, and this command will tell you if something is not compatible with the image.
An overview of what you do is as follows:
1. From a Windows 10 command prompt, mount the offline Windows 7 image
2. Add the driver file to the mounted image.
3. Commit the changes to the image and unmount the image.
4. (Optional) Discard any changes to the image and unmount the image.
1
Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows 10 Home" /MountDir:C:\test\offline
2
Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.inf
3
Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline /Commit
4 (Optional - instead of 3 above)
Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\test\offline /discard

The actual pathnames you use will depend on your setup. Read the documentation for explanation.
