Today i just finished building my PC and i have a fresh copy of windows 7. My PC is a brand new Skylake build using Z170A MSI M5.. Blah blah blah... Mastercase Pro 5

So i didnt have a CD reader... So i coped the disc to a iso and made a bootable usb with that... This is when it got really messy... I plugged in my mouse, keyboard and the bootable usb and turn my pc on. Booted nicely :) got to the install page... None of my peripherals worked !!

So i did some research and apparently Windows 7 does not have support for USB 3.0 and 3.1 that being said isnt all... My case and IO DO NOT HAVE ANY USB2.0 GODAMMIT.

How do i install windows 7 without having to purcase USBMBADAPT ? Is there any way to install windows 7 without spending more money ???????? Please help :)

Aren't those two ports at the top USB2 ports (5)?

They are labelled on MSI's site as "Gaming" ports, but they are a different colour to the USB3 ports. Is there some option in the BIOS to set them to USB2 or something?

 

Edit: Also there is a PS2 port (1). If you think you can install the drivers with just a mouse or keyboard then this might help you (assuming you have a PS2 keyboard or adapter).

This exact same thing happen to me with a recent build.  Seems most new motherboards don't let you use USB peripherals in Win 7 until you install the USB 3.0 drivers.  

 

Luckily I had a SATA DVD and a PS2 keyboard to install the drivers.  

Mystery is the source of all true science.

The Gaming ports dont work even during the windows 7 installation... i have tried it already

 

are you using Gaming Keyboard and Gaming Mouse ?

 

no.

You can also try to unplug and replug peripherals and keep booting until they work. I have constantly this issue with mobo without USB2 ports. Literally without any. Replugging and booting gives me 1/5 working conditions.

Your dad did right thing. Windows 7 is kinda old. It does not support USB 3.0/3.1 and M.2 natively.
