cd/dvd drive driver missing while installing windows 7 in inspiron 3162 (win 10, 500 gb, 4gb)
Some software I previously bought only works in windows 7.
As the latest version of that software is costly, I decided to install windows 7 in by Inspiron 3162 (Pentium 3700, Windows 10 home, 500 gb hdd, 4gb ram).
Copied the original windows 7 to boot-able USB Flash drive.
Tried to install... boot from USB drive....
struck in the screen showing
CD/DVD driver device driver is missing...
Tried steps
- change usb port
- formatted USB drive and rewrite windows 7
- downloaded some drivers said in some forums and tried to install
- try to change bios. - no option of changing usb 3 or AHCI to any other
Please help

KUMARKPB,
Click the link below for information resolving the error you are getting trying to boot to Windows 7 usb.
Dell systems with the Intel Skylake or Braswell Chipset lack USB 2.0 support and will not boot to Dell Windows 7 media
