Installing Windows 7 on a B360M D2V (or similar)

[Brian1337]

So i've been trying to install windows 7 on my b360m d2v for a few days now. 

 

The problem seem to be the usb 3.0 drivers. Windows 7 has no built in usb 3.0 support.

Im able to boot from the usb stick but i cant use my mouse or keyboard to get further in the setup.

I tried to use the gigabyte windows image tool and the msi smart tool to add usb 3.0 drivers to my usb thumb drive with no luck.

Does anyone has an idea how i can get this to work?

 

I heared that it could work with ps/2 keyboard and mouse but i dont have this hardware here

 

ps: i hate hardware manufacturers to force using windows 10

Well in theory you can do that from the command prompt F10 + shift after booting from USB but CMD is a pain to work with so I rather want to recommend getting a PS2 mouse. Maybe you can complete the setup by using keyboard by keys like tab and esc but i think you will get stuck at creating partitions on the drive as you really need a mouse there.

 

Edit: Did some looking around but there seems to be no guide on the internet what so ever about how you would install Windows from CMD because who would want to do that as there is hardly anything to customise. Only a few for installing headless Windows server which is not really helpfull here.
