Here's the fixed link: Windows® 7 and USB 3.0 driver installation for 100 Series and Braswell platform I hope you guys know what I am talking about, thanks if some people can help, brilliant website

I have an ISO image file of my windows 7 圆4 ultimate saved on my current computer and also on a DVD and on one of the USB 2.0 sticks. I also have some USB 2.0 pen sticks that I could use, but again not sure if they will work via the usb 3.0 ports without windows being installed, I know that when windows is fully installed then it will all be fine, but its getting windows on in the first place that is my problem for now. I also just bought an external dvd writer too but thats USB 2.0 obviously, so I have no idea if that will install windows via USB 3.0 ports as explained ?

So I know that usb 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with usb 2.0 but this makes me wonder what happens if you don't have windows installed, you know how in theory windows will attempt to install minimal drivers for the windows install and the hardware too but it doesn't always go smoothly as we all know, usually it wont install a few of my drivers especially a major one for the network card but I know how to sort that once windows is installed as I have that driver saved elsewhere.īut anyway, in order for me to try and get windows installed what I have done and hope this was the correct Idea was to buy an external USB 3.0 hard drive (with the cable that comes with it, its this model here seagate expansion portable drive 500GB. I am just about to receive my order for an Asus ROG MAXIMUS VIII IMPACT itx motherboard and I notice that it doesn't have any internal headers for USB 2.0 at all, seems to only have external USB 3.0 ports and thats all.Īlso, the ITX case that I have bought is the Fractal Node 304 which only has USB 3.0 ports too, (No Optical Drive).
