Install Windows 7 on Nuvo-5000
Intel Skylake platform removes EHCI controller and supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
connectivity only through its xHCI controller. For Windows 8/8.1 and Windows10, no issue
is anticipated due to native xHCI support in the OS. However, Windows 7 does not natively
support xHCI thus manual installation of Intel’s xHCI driver is required to support both USB
storage device and USB keyboard/mouse during the OS installation process.
To install Windows 7 on Nuvo-5000, the simplest way is to create a USB thumb drive with
Windows 7 installation files and Intel xHCI driver included. Neousys provides a
Windows-based batch file and step-by-step guide to help you. Please follow instructions in
this section to install Windows 7 on your Nuvo-5000.
