MoBo USB Unsupported, Will PCI-e Card Work?

gaza4 · 2019-09-23 19:20:59

So a while ago i built a PC for my Dad. He wanted to stick with Win7 and I failed to do my proper research and ended up with a motherboard that doesnt have USB drivers for anything older than Win10, so he has no USB at all. My question is, if i got a PCI-e USB card would this work?

Explain to your dad that Windows 7 is no longer safe to use online and that you have to upgrade to Windows 10.

You can make it look like Win 7 with Classic Shell, see here: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-make-windows-10-look-like-windows-7/
