Hi, @mesutkoparan1 

 

You cannot install or run W7 on a Probook 450 G6.  W10 64 bit only.

 

The reason you are getting that error is because W7 is looking for a USB 3.1 driver to go further, and none exist.

 

You could probably install W7 from a DVD if your notebook has an internal DVD drive, but then you will find no graphics, audio, USB or wifi drivers for W7.

 

So...W10 x64 it is.

Hi

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve, and exactly the method to achieve that?

 

W7 is not always happy to install from USB.
