jph160,

If you have no internet on the E5480 you can take a usb key to another computer and download the drivers from the link below. Bring them back to your system and install them. The chipset drivers are what enable the USB ports to work. There is a Driver Install Order. Click the links below.

used a dell windows 7 professional disc and added usb 3.0 drivers to allow install.

 

machine came with windows 10 but we need to downgrade.

The system has a 7th Generation Intel Processor. Windows 7 is only supported on systems with a 6th Generation Intel Processor, no drivers are created for newer models:
