You need to copy two WIM files from the ISO image or Windows 7 installation media to the local c: mp directory on your drive. Next, you need to integrate your drivers into the Windows 7 installation image (it may be an ISO file or a ready image copied to the installation USB stick). You can create several subfolders with different USB 3.0 drivers for popular chipset models inside the USB3 catalog. Extract the driver archives to the USB3 folder. Create a new directory c: mp, and create two subfolders inside it: mount and USB3. In this article, we will show you how to manually integrate USB drivers into the Windows 7 installation image without using third-party utilities.įirst of all, find and download USB 3.0 drivers for your chipset from the vendor’s website (in our example, it is Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family). Examples: ASRock (Win 7 USB Patcher), MSI (MSI Smart Tool), Intel (Windows USB Installation Tool for Windows 7), Gigabyte (Windows USB Installation Tool), etc. A PPA is available for Ubuntu for example.Some motherboard vendors released special tools to integrate their USB drivers into your Windows 7 install image. WoeUSB is also available for many other Linux platforms. If the installer complains that the device is in use, check the device name in WoeUSB (which is /dev/sdc in my example) and you can force it to unmount with this command. Fast and easy, Windows installers the Linux way. No special tools to download, no insanely long waits for it to run. Much easier and much faster than making a bootable Windows 10 installer from Windows, in fact. Select your downloaded ISO file, select your target device and away you go. You can download a Windows 10 ISO directly from Microsoft. You can install this easily with this command: sudo dnf install WoeUSB

An important tool for any Linux-based IT staff. When using Fedora, luckily a built in tool for this exists: WoeUSB. Windows 10 Installation USB images are known to not work when made from normal USB burning tools.
