Rufus fails too but i read it could be a corrupt iso, i can use Rufus it to just format the drive ok but when i try to copy the image to the usb drive with Rufus it fails. The Microsoft usb download tool does not recognise my usb drive. I am aware that i need to integrate the usb3 drivers into the windows install files on the usb drive.
I want to install win7 from my usb2 external drive. I had a thought that i could plug the Samsung ssd from the nuc into my htpc or laptop, get past the username screen, install the Intel usb3 drivers, remove and refit the hard drive to the nuc.
I can get windows 7 installed but i get stuck at the screen to select a username and password, my wireless keyboard and mouse cease to work and also my wired usb keyboard does not work.įirstly should i use UEFI or Legacy mode for booting my NUC with win7? I bought a NUC6i3SYH, Samsung 850 ssd and 4gb Kingston Ram.
