>install a light Linux

>install when prompted
Installing fkn Linux isn't a joke you weeaboo, it's an actual fix for most things! You can just DL what you need from the live Linux USB

I had the same issue, I resigned myself to buying an _INTERNAL_ DVD drive. My external DVD drive had the same issue.

I had the same problem. I thought it was asking for the drivers my RAID controller needed, which I kept trying to give it.

It was the USB3.0 issue. Fixed it by plugging the Win7 USB drive into a 2.0 port.

If you don't have a USB2 only port(the non-blue ones) then grab a old USB2 pcie card or just slap a CD/DVD drive in that bad boy.

i have many usb ports, 2 at the front, i dont really know what they are, i suppose 3.0, then i got four 3.0 at the back, one 3.1, and two (blacks) which i suppose are 2.0 (nothing is written for these 2), but again, i tried one them all, it never changed anyhing

dont downgrade your computer

windows 10 has a much less footprint on hardware and better performance in almost all games.
+future proof.

and there's no such issue by installing w10 from an usb stick?

Had the same problem with a Gigabyte board. Got a tool off their website which can inject the necessary USB drivers into the setup files.

ASUS EZ installer, literally 3 seconds in Google.

alright, i'll look

Had this same issue because my sandisk USB stick was from a batch of before 2013 which had the removable bit turned off to allow for some bitlocker thing, but this made it impossible to install windows from it. I now have the exact same USB stick from a later batch and it works, because it had this one bit turned on, which isn't writable.

Think about it rationally for a second. I gave Windows 7 a try on my PC because I thought it would've been better since it's what I was used to, but I was way wrong. It's a decent OS, but it's incredibly old and there is next to no driver support for it anymore. Microsoft is going to stop supporting anything that isn't Windows 10 on Skylake CPUs and anything that's newer.

Just don't use 7. I know you might have been used to it, but its time is long gone and there is already something new to take its place.

At least use 8.1

>>57561501
You realise Windows 7 works perfectly on Kaby Lake, right?

>>57560243
You can use thecontents of W8 disk but replace the wim file with the pone from 7. You'll ge the installation screen from 8, but it will actually install W7.

Have you tried copying the iso onto your HDD?
