How to install Windows 7 x64bit on Intel Z390 motherboards ?

Got W7U x64 SP1 installed on eVGA Z390 Dark.

 

Z390 boards have usb2 ports why not just use those for installation?

 

Mine does not, what board do you have that has USB 2 ports?

 

im staring at the usb 2 headers on the z390 dark right now.

 

Motherboard headers, yes. Ports, i.e. backpanel, no.

 

Just get windows 10....good grief I was the same hard-headed as you all were!....

The damn thing works.

 

Except all the cases where it doesn't.

 

Like when?....on a z390 mobo?

 

Check this out:


Some guy in china has written USB drivers for win 7 and Z390-E

 

No thanks... This is shady as F....... I wouldnt try that...
You even have to pay money... And its all sooo fishy...

Dont, just dont....

 

I recently had the same problem with a Z390 motherboard and Windows 7: none of the USB ports working...
(I don't want that %&$#@ Windows 10! I use it for multitrack audio recording and the computer is not connected to the internet, so security isn't an issue.)
But... I found a solution. These drivers work for me. 32 and 64 bit versions.

Got my modded Intel USB drivers at win-raid. Even the internal headers work.

 

Could you pleas share them by PM, Win-Raid have to remove them, because of Intel asked them to take them down.

 

Maybe anybody has got this drivers so please share them with me too.
Great thanx

 

if u want, i got an working BOOT&INSTALL.wim for that works on z390 mobos .

Method 1

Install CUSTOMIZED certificate in your certificate authorities.

For example, if you unzip, the above with drivers.cer in C:\,

just run cmd.exe and enter:
certmgr.exe -add C:\drivers.cer -s -r localMachine ROOT
certmgr.exe -add C:\drivers.cer -s -r localMachine TRUSTEDPUBLISHER

bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

Reboot windows

Run setup.exe from the driver package (above).

Happy Windows 7 with Z390

Method 2
EDIT: modding the iusb3xhc.inf file
Delete all DEV_ID and add:
%IUsb3XhcDeviceDesc02% = IUsb3XhcModel, PCI\VEN_8086&CC_0C0330
