The Windows 7 installer has no USB 3 support. So you'd need to install it using an USB 2 port, or you'd have to modify the installer before installation.

 

As long as the manufacturers of your hardware still have Windows 7 drivers, your hardware should work. You really shouldn't use Windows 7 anymore though, since support has ended, so it won't be getting any more security updates.

And what if i installed it using usb 2.0 and then can i install Usb 3.0 after installation?

If the motherboard manufacturer still provides USB chipset drivers for Windows 7, then yes.

Thx for the information. I have decided to install win 11 as it is safe and supported
