How To Download Windows 7 Iso File With Usb 3.0 Driver

The Windows 7 RTM distribution doesn't back up USB 3.0 out-of-the-box, and you can encounter some problems with the installation of Windows 7 on a calculator/laptop having USB 3.0 ports just (most modern devices released after 2015 have only USB3 ports). For example, USB keyboard and mouse may not work in Windows 7 Setup wizard, or the installer may crave to load drivers for your CD/DVD drive:

A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If yous have a driver's floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB wink drive, delight insert it now.
Notation: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, yous can safely remove it for this step.

A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

Accordingly, yous cannot install Windows 7 (or Windows Server 2008 R2) from a USB drive to a estimator on which all peripheral devices are connected via USB three.0 ports.

The Enhanced Host Controller Interface is not supported in the Intel chipsets starting from 100 and 200 series (B150, H110, H170, Q150, Q170, Z170, Intel Apollo Lake), similar AMD chipsets and chipsets from other vendors. Therefore USB 3.0 ports are only not detected by the Windows seven installer.

To install Windows vii correctly on some computer models, you can disable USB iii.0 way in BIOS settings by switching to USB 2.0 compatibility mode (Legacy USB 2.0). In all other cases, you lot volition have to modify Windows 7 install distro and integrate USB 3.0 drivers for your motherboard chipset to the boot and install WIM images.

Some motherboard vendors released special tools to integrate their USB drivers into your Windows 7 installation epitome. For example, ASRock (Win vii USB Patcher), MSI (MSI Smart Tool), Intel (Windows USB Installation Tool for Windows 7), Gigabyte (Windows USB Installation Tool) and etc. Simply in this article we will bear witness you how to manually integrate USB drivers into the Windows 7 Install image without using tertiary-party utilities.

All the operations of modifying of the Windows vii ISO image, described beneath, are performed on a calculator running Windows 10.

Commencement of all, detect USB 3.0 drivers for your chipset and download them from the vendor website (in our example, it is Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® vii Series/C216 Chipset Family). Create a new directory c:\tmp, and create two subfolders inside it: mount and USB3. Unpack the annal with drivers to the USB3 binder. Inside the USB3 catalog you can create several subfolders with different USB iii.0 drivers for popular chipset models.

Next, yous need to update the Windows vii install image (it may be an ISO file or a ready image copied to the installation USB stick). You'll need two WIM files to be copied to the c:\tmp directory from the Windows 7 ISO image or the installation disk:

sources\boot.wim – WinPE kick prototype used to install Windows on your device;
sources\install.wim – Windows 7 prototype that volition exist installed on your computer.

Windows 7 boot.wim and install.wim

Run a control prompt with the administrator privileges, and use the DISM tool to mount WinPE boot image (boot.wim) and integrate the USB three.0 drivers into information technology:

dism /mountain-wim /wimfile:c:\tmp\boot.wim /alphabetize:2 /mountdir:c:\tmp\mount dism /image:c:\tmp\mount /add together-driver:"c:\tmp\usb3" /recurse

$dism /image:c:\tmp\mount /add-driver usb$

The following message indicates that the specified USB3 driver was successfully added to the boot.wim image of the Windows 7 installation environment:

Installing 1 of 6 — c:\tmp\usb3\Drivers\HCSwitch\x64\iusb3hcs.inf: The driver package was successfully installed.

Salve the changes in the image and unmount the boot.wim file (to avert DISM errors, brand sure that yous closed all File Explorer windows and the file managers, which has the c:\tmp\mountain directory open up):

dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\tmp\mount /commit dism /cleanup-wim

Similarly, you lot need to update the operating system installation image in the install.wim file. Here the main departure is that the install.wim image tin can contain several Windows 7 editions with dissimilar indexes. So, you lot will have to add drivers to that Windows edition you are going to install (or to all available Windows vii editions in plow).

You tin list the available Windows 7 editions in the install.wim image as follows:

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:c:\tmp\install.wim

dism Get-WimInfo

In our instance, there are 4 dissimilar Windows editions in the install.wim image. Nosotros'll add the USB iii.0 driver to Windows vii Professional with the index 3 (this number will exist used to address the edition using DISM).

And then add the USB iii.0 drivers to the Windows prototype like we did it higher up:

dism /mountain-wim /wimfile:c:\tmp\install.wim /index:iii /mountdir:c:\tmp\mount dism /image:c:\tmp\mount /add-driver:"c:\tmp\usb3" /recurse dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\tmp\mount /commit dism /cleanup-wim

It remains to supercede the updated install.wim and kick.wim files on the installation USB flash drive or update the ISO file, and yous can use this image to install Windows seven on computers with a USB 3.0 controller.
