Windows 7 USB Drivers

[Divine_]

I just finished building my first computer, and I'm at the point where Windows is asking for drivers to be installed, what do I do? it's for Windows 7 pro 64 bit

The only drivers you really want to install are Ethernet/network drivers and mobo drivers. After Windows has installed, go to the manufacturers website for each part and download the most recent drivers 

I just remembered, when I installed Windows 7, it prompted me for usb drivers and wouldn't continue without them. If I remember correctly, I fixed it by booting into bios and enabling a legacy usb mode that disabled usb 3.0 which was confusing Windows.

I'm really not sure. When I built my machine, I had a free version of win 7 pro, but after being stuck at that screen for a long time, I noticed a bios settling called "Windows 7 install mode" and I enabled that and it worked.

This applies to all motherboards, not just Gigabyte's.

Hmm it's missing some of the moba drivers, which is odd since I was able to add them afterward for my computer (though I don't know how you formatted your install drive), but what you need is the moba drivers that allow for proper use of USB in order continue, so what motherboard do you have?

 

Edit: Look at DeadEye's post below, the link has a good solution

Well this is what asrock says to do with your board http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Win7Install/  (click 100 series then usb any config) they give pictures to follow along with, I would try to be more helpful but I am unfamiliar with the driver configuration of skylake boards so I can only find info given by manufacturers
