I've never run the program before, so unfortunately, I can't help you with getting it to work.

 

All I know is unless you can get the USB3 drivers to install, you will not be able to install W7 on that platform.

 

Another forum member copied the driver folder to a flash drive and used the advanced menu in the installation, Load driver, browsed to the driver folder and loaded the required USB3 drivers.

Hi:

 

There are a couple of things you have to do on your notebook to install W7.

 

1. You have to enable legacy mode and disable secure boot in the BIOS.

 

2. You have to run this tool to put the USB3 drivers on your windows installation flash drive.

 

The tool has to be run on a PC with W8.1 or W10.
