7th Generation Windows 7 pro usb driver issue
Hi, I have to install a windows 7 on an Optiplex 3050 that has a processor intel 7th generation, I'm having an issue with the usb port, can anyone help please.
I have to install an old application that runs only on windows 7 and uses a usb dongle and a communication port.
Thanks

There are ZERO drivers for WIN7 past 6TH gen
Installing win7 on 7 8 9 10th gen is NEVER an option
There are ZERO WIN7 drivers
Booting 32 bit software or WIN7 or 8 is NEVER an option and NEVER WILL BE.
All systems going forward are WIN10 64 bit GPT UEFI only
Legacy booting is NEVER Allowed.
Request Denied.

Legacy boot mode on newer systems, you will be unable to boot to internal boot devices (including HDD, SSD, or eMMC storage devices).
This is never an option past 6th gen processors and newer
