   Hello community.
I build an PC for my grandfather, with an ASRock H310M-HDV. He asked my if i could install Windows 7. I tried to install it, however, I got an error:

The PC has no CD reader. I am istalling Windows 7 with an bootable USB-drive.

I need help. Thanks!

PD:
Merry Christmas

	Probably the chipset driver for the Intel H310 is missing. Windows 7 does not support this chipset. Furthermore, there may be problems with CPUs after Skylake.

	PD: I could run Linux Zorin OS from an bootable-USB on this PC.

	Linux runs on this configuration, because it has support for the CPU and chipset. BUT Windows 7 does NOT support this chipset. Either use Windows 10 or Linux. Your decision. Intel has a special version of this chipset for Windows 7: [URL=https://www.anandtech.com/show/13201/intel-preps-h310-revision-with-win7-coffee-lake-support]H310C or the H310 R2.0[/URL]. And of course there are boards with it, e.g. ASRock H310CM-DVS (see the additional C in the name). But your board will not work with Windows 7.

	You need to slipstream the USB 3.0 drivers into your Win 7 installation bootable USB and then install. Check here for the USB 3.0 driver: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6548 see page 2 and DL the Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Driver_5.0.4.43 see also this: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3727712/windows-coffee-lake-installation.html
