Hi community,
I have recently started building a gaming pc and now I'm stuck in this issue. Windows 7 x64 is installed by bootable USB stick. however after the windows setup is completed. there is no drives detected, no USB detected. no Ethernet adapter detected. & all of them has an exclamation mark in the device manager. and I'm using mouse and keyboard on ps/2 ports
I've been browsing thorough previous posts here that raised similar issues to mine. and most of the answers suggest that USB 2.0 should be detected by default. well, it didn't happen with me & I've tried many different flash drives that works fine on my laptop.
I don't have an optical drive though. & I'm having doubts that it would work by default since the USB 2.0 was supposed to work by default but it didn't.
1) so before going to the shop and buying an optical drive for only installing the drivers. would it work in this situation?
2) and as another way to solve this issue, can I copy the drivers into the OS bootable USB so I can access them and install them after OS is installed?
2.1) or is there a way to include my drivers installation somehow within the OS setup?
my motherboard is ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4.
3) one guy suggested that I install ubuntu and copy the drivers there then go back to the newly installed windows and use them. is this valid?
Update: On the motherboard box it says: "WINDOWS 10 READY Drivers/Asus utilities for OS upgrade". does it mean I should install windows 10 first to install the drivers??
