USB 3.0 and Windows 7

[Yohann bossard]

Hi guys! It's my first time here, I'm French and I don't have a lot of skills in English and in hardware, I just know the basic. ?

 

So recently, I bought an acer aspire vx15 on rue du commerce ( https://m.rueducommerce.fr/produit/acer-aspire-vx-15-vx5-591g-558z-noir-29072208#moid:MO-2428AM70609592 ) with Linux installed into it ( not gnu Linux,not ubuntu... just Linux.) I installed windows 7 because my oncle is an computer scientist and he give it to me.?

As you probably see, my new computer doesn't have USB 2.0 port , only USB 3.0 x3 and a type c connector but they bolth not working in win 7. I used a software which changes the ISO files for integrate usb 3 drivers and it works for the installation, but now I have my computer with win7, 4usb port which doesn't work and no wireless connection ( my wireless card need drivers for function .)

 

I don't know what to do, please help me??

 

Thanks!!

Try using these old drivers from another acer model:

Simplest answer is get windows 10.

 

If not, then you have to figure out how to get drivers onto win 7 for USB 3.0 and ethernet at the least...

If you can't get Windows 7 to work, you can still activate Windows 10 with a Windows 7 key after Windows 10 has been installed (skip code insertion during installation). That's the simplest way in my opinion, it's also better because Windows 7 support is running out in 2,5 years. Your CPU isn't even supported in Windows 7 so getting updates to work would be a pain and not worth the work.

From what i have heard windows 7 doesent normally support usb 3. Try upgrading to windows 8 or 10

Ok so, if I follow your instructions, i should buy a more recent version of windows, windows10 I guess.

I want to had an ssd on my computer cuz 5400rpm hardisk... are slow? So I want save money, what do you think about softpanda? They sell windows oem ( or eom Idk ?) for 50€ ( I'm European), is it working? Not a trap? Thanks for all your comments guys you're the best?
