Classic driver not found USB install issue

So a relative bought a ideapad s510p  that needed some fixing - apparently someone had installed a pirated win 7 on it while maintaining  and it's overall messed up.

So the best solution was to install win 10  - since i happened to have it on USB and let them run it without key or get a key later.

Can't start win 10 install from Os - it asks for a key with no skip option.

So i booted to USB, chose win 10 in the grub loader, it all goes fine until the hellish no driver issue.

It was in the 2.0 slot. All the "fixes" in internets about cancel and unplug did nothing.

So i tried the 7 home x64 i also had on the drive - same problem.

Took the chipset drivers for the laptop off the site, put them on USB - it lists them but won't accept. "no devices added/installed" message.

The very same drivers a already installed win 7 home x64 has installed.

Tried through all the listed drivers.

So what is it looking for then if it doesn't accept those (usb, ahci, chipset etc)?

Got no disks and don't even own a optical drive to write any.

In fact i can even browse the system drive and USB to look for drivers. What else does it want?

What are they going to do with this thing?

Perhaps Ubuntu 16.04 LTS might be better on the system...

Ubuntu is not for everyone - especially when they use Excel. I do not have the time and patience to retrain people to use linux and openoffice and then try and debug it over the phone later.

I had that problem MANY times and it always is annoying. I usually disable secure boot, and leave sata mode at AHCI and use default rufus values to create a bootable windows installer and plug the USB in to the USB2 port.

That makes this worse is that it could install the usb driver in windows itself - but the installer from USB just does nothing - says it didn't find anything in the driver folder.

Sata is on AHCI, legacy USB support enabled.
