Mouse/Keyboard not working during windows 7 Pro Installation

[PP Mguire]

I'm just stating that is what I did with My W7 Pro install on an X170 board and yes... the mouse/kb did work from the "legacy" bios option. There are other bios settings you need to make before you can install 7... but I can not recall at this time.
If the OP really wants to use 7 on that board, then he needs to do some homework because it ain't going to be easy as getting 10 on that board

Legacy wouldn't work as his chipset is 100% USB3. Absolutely needs integrated drivers as did my H270 board to function.

idk, i tried vpn, diff browser, phone but nothing seems to work. could you please upload it on a diff site ?

My Dropbox account was disabled due to inactivity. You'll have to just integrate using NTLite.

Well, I have already tried integrating with NTLite, different USB 3.0 drivers, but it didn't work either. Are there any specific drivers I need to get ?

You can try a whole host of them, like add as many as you can. Idk why you're installing 7 onto a Z490 platform but if you intend to install on anything else then you definitely want to add as much compatibility as you can so you don't need to compile the ISO again.

so Should I get all those drivers and add all of em in one ?
Edit: On the hardware checklist, the missing USB drivers turned into "found". Gonna burn the ISO and try !

I still get no input from mouse/keyboard after integrating all those drivers into boot.wim, "microsoft windows PE (x64)".


Do I have to integrate the drivers into "microsoft windows setup (x64)" too ?

Try the Comet Lake PCH-H.rar driver that is in post #3 from this place.

I would advise that you read that thread in it's entirety first.

hey, I've tried adding those too, but unfortunately still no input.

Then get yourself an adapter or PS/2 setup. If any one of those drivers work inside Windows then you did something wrong during integration.

well yeah, am gonna buy a cheap PS/2 mouse somewhere... cus thats all I need.
I am a complete noob w computer stuff but I really doubt it's on my end. if u have time integrating the drivers in an image and uploading that, I'd be more than greatful, but it's whatever. at this point I'll just get myself a PS/2 mouse .
Thanks for the help @PP Mguire @Joe C
