i have tried to install windows 7 from a disk and it isnt recognising my keyboard or mouse. they are both plugged into USB 2.0. we have been trying for several hours using 2 different mice and keyboards.

my motherboard is MSI B150 gaming M3
 
Solution
Google "Installing Windows 7 Skylake." Skylake doesn't support EHCI any longer which is why USB devices won't be recognized when trying to install Windows 7. There are a number of workarounds for this.
