Dell Inspiron 3264 - Windows 7 32-bit

Anyone know how to install Windows 7 32-bit on a Dell Inspiron 3264?

We can get it to "setup" until the prompt for Username and Computer Name.

At that point, the keyboard and mouse (USB) do not work.  We have had no luck pre-loading the drivers...

Any advice?

Thanks,

No way, no how- this is a seventh-generation Intel CPU.  For Windows, the only OS is Windows 10.

If you must run Windows 7, you'll need a 6th generation system (Skylake), which is the last one for which Windows 7 is still supported.

That would likely be impossible since I really doubt any 32-bit drivers exist for this machine.

The proper OS for this "newer machine" in Windows-10 64-bit.
