windows 7 usb 3.0 creator utility intel download center

Credit goes to Travis Payton from Code A Bitwiser blog, where I read about this first. Intel has already published an instruction on how to do this, but I found it rather confusing. Below I’ll explain how to avoid these pitfalls and install Windows 7 on NUC5CPYH / NUC5PPYH. Without adding the USB 3.0 drivers into the installation image your keyboard and mouse will not work during the Windows 7 installation. Without correct BIOS settings Windows 7 installation will give you blue screen right at the beginning. Basically it will do the same thing that is described below, so if you want to be in control of what exactly happens you can also follow the below instructions. This will help you skip steps 5-22 of the instruction below. Unfortunately the NUC does have only USB 3.0 ports, so something must be done (there are internal USB 2.0 ports, but these are rather inconvenient to use) as the only way you could control your NUC is through the USB ports.ĮDIT: Intel has now released a Windows 7 USB 3.0 Creator Utility v3 that will modify your Windows 7 installation USB stick automatically. Specifically it is lacking USB 3.0 support. The reason is that Windows 7 starts to be rather old already and the basic installation does not support more modern hardware. Installing Windows 7 on the NUC5CPYH or NUC5PPYH (Braswell NUC) is a bit tricky. When i removed and plugged back in the usb after it went straight through.The following instruction tells you how to install Windows 7 on a Braswell or Skylake NUC.

Then i found the folder that contained the exe i assume ' 圆4' installed the driver that popped up. I lukcily had an old version of windows on the hard drive i could repair, to download and copy usb 3 driver to c/. My BIOS didnt have any of the options people who fixed it that way did.

This is the only solution that worked for me.

THIS TIME, since the drivers ARE installed, you should unplug the stick and plug it back in. if you are like me and have ONLY 3.0 ports, download the 3.0 controller drivers and unzip all its files to the C: driveĬlick search, go through the drivers you downloaded and click next, it'll find the drivers, 'install them' and come back with the same error again. There are 2 possible solutions: switch to a USB 2.0 usb stick and it goes like a breeze. Guys, as I've searched a Thousand pages looking for a solution, I've found that the real bad guy here is really the USB 3.0 drivers that DO NOT come bundled in the Windows boot disks and it gets lost searching for its own installation files after booting.
