Add USB driver to iso, to install Win 7??

If the title is too cryptic....   I want to make a final iso of Win 7 ulti, which always has the installation problem, that the mouse and keyboard will not work... I can never remember how I somehoe got aroud it last time ...

Which one is the correct driver?

How do I add it to the iso?

Thank you

And which systems are you targeting?  There are drivers you can add to get USB keyboards and mice functional on older systems with USB 3.0 ports, but there are no such drivers for the latest systems.

ADDENDUM: At least I know this for sure for AMD systems, especially AM5 platforms.

USB drivers are backward compatable, irrelevant of OS...

thier ports, USB3, are easily identifed - the internal "lug" is blue, so if your plugging the keyboard/mouse into it then they will not work unless you've slipstreamed the drivers into the Iso

should work in black port "lugs"

I don't know about Intel, but the latest AMD USB 3.0 drivers for Windows 7 don't work with AM5 systems.  I learned that the hard way.

Also, I read that the latest available drivers worked with earlier AM4 systems but not the latest AM4 systems without some hackery.  Good luck!

I must not have been very clear... once agaibn.

I have an Win 7 ulti iso, last model. Used many times, but not lately.

This can only be installed with when the problem of the missing USB driver for keyboard and mouse is some added, or if a way around that problem is found is solved.

The installation of Win 7 with an original iso will NOT work, because the mouse, which is neeeded to proceed will not work without that driver.

Go into bios enable usb legacy mode and try.

How would that help add a USB driver to a Windows 7 ISO image?

It would likely allow them to install windows and then download all the drivers for it. It was common when usb devices came out in the late 90s.

 

WITHOUT THE MOUSE DRIVER YOU CANNOT GET THAT FAR !!!! 

USB Legacy Mode was a method of making USB peripherals like keyboards and mice work in 16-bit operating systems like DOS, back when said operating systems relied on the BIOS for those devices.  Operating systems like Windows NT can't benefit from USB Legacy Mode, because they don't rely on the BIOS; they use their own drivers.
