hi, I need some help, to me (in the 5.00 minute of the video) I click stard but the error "The boot.wim was not found" appears, please could you help me?
I was downgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 7 and got struck in the installation stage due to the above problem. I was heartbroken as I couldn't get over this issue.Your video is superb and solved my problem. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Ok, I really liked your video, professional, clear and thank you for the links. I did each step as you said and I still come up with the "Missing Driver" error. It does take considerably longer to get to the error however the error is still hanging me up. Got any more ideas? I am desperately trying to bring my friends WIN 10 back to WIN 7. I need to format the drive which is a SSD stick on the motherboard. Dell insperation... all out of ideas.
downloading Windows USB Installation tool: but many choices, look up my CPU and it's Intel Celeron. choices are: "Support intel Z370 series" , "Support Intel 100/200/X299 series", "Support Intel Braswell series". my Laptop says Intel Celeron, but there is no support for intel celeron
@EasyTechs . I have a Lenovo ThinkPad e480 Intel cpu laptop. Will any driver tool work from Gigabite because so far the install failed to load into my windows boot usb
hi there thank you for the useful video but the tool sends me another error saying " THE BOOT.WIM FILE WAS NOT FOUND" can you please help me by that? am in hurry I appreciate that thank you 😍
Brother this method only for Gigabytes motherboard or all motherboard? I have a same issue but my motherboard is MSI . Model-H110M-S01. This method work for me?
Hi, this worked perfectly, and so I was able to install Windows 7 Pro 64-bit via a boot/install flash drive... BUT... when I inserted another USB flash drive to install the drivers, it won't recognize the drive! The computer is a Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro (no optical drive). So now I have a PC that has Windows loaded, but I can't install anything else because it doesn't see the flash drive when I plug it in. I can't connect to the internet either, because I need the wifi/ethernet drivers as well.. Can you kindly advise as to what I can try? Thanks.....
It Is Never Clarified WHEN You Insert The Flash Drive. I Saw You Inserted The Flash Drive At Least 3 Times. At The Beginning. ( The Video Is Very Blurry ) Then Again, And Then Again At The End, After You "Extracted" The Files. So My Question Is, Why Do You Insert The Flash Drive First Then Turn On The PC? Then It Is Not Explained/Clarified, When You Remove It. Then It Is Inserted Again, But Never Mentioned When To Remove It. Then Again, At The End, You Say To Insert The Flash Drive Again, When Installing The CD Drivers. Please Make This Video User Friendly By Telling Us When The Flash Drive Is Inserted And Then Removed.
Windows 7 Installation Does Not Appear In Any Of The Utility Gigabyte Links. This Is Supposed To Be A Windows "7" Fixes : A Required CD-DVD Driver Is Missing (USB Windows 7 Installation Error) Tutorial. Where Is The Windows "7" Link??
I can’t thank you enough. You saved hours of work, trial and error. Btw, those trying to install windows via boot camp and get the same error, this method also works for Macs.2014 macbook pro, now can run win 7.
Did this exact method and still have the same problem. I've unplugged the USB and plugged it back in during the main install screen and that didn't help. I've changed UEFI to legacy, turned usb 3.0 off and even changed usb ports, all failing to get passed this error code. What am I doing wrong?
@@Guy-b6dI was installing on a newer MOBO/cpu combo that needed the drivers injected before the install. After that there was still a couple problems but tbh, I forgot what we did to fix it. At the end of the day, we got it installed properly 👍
hey, I installed windows 7 to a windows 10 laptop with this trick but the problem is my windows 7 OS still doesn't have USB drivers after installation and windows update can't find the drivers. the manufacturer doesn't have windows 7 usb drivers for it either. is it possible one of the usb drivers could be installed to the os from that mb utility program folder? edit: never mind. actually upon showing the root folder of USB inside mb utility thing to device manager, it found the correct drivers and installed them.
Thanks for the info.... I have been in this field for long time.... Faced this error on gigabyte motherboard..... The solution provided by you is very through and to the point.... It worked... Thanks a lot..
