Ok, I Installed fresh Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) in my new PC. I wanted to install some internet adapter drivers from my USB cuz new PC won't recognize Internet Adapter, but it also won't recognize this completely new USB (like, there is no sound and no messages, just nothing), which is strange, because my old PC (where I am writing from) have exactly same OS and it recognizes it perfectly. What should I do? If it's important, I have GA-Z170-D3H motherboard in new PC.
 
restart with windows 7 install. go to advance mode f6 install fro mcd or usb stick the intel chipset drivers. usb drivers and ethernet drivers. if you cant do it that way use program called 7lite to make a new iso image. or if your windows 7 key is vailid download windows 10 for free using windows media creation tool from another pc then use your windows 7 key to actvate it during the install.

This seems too confusing for me. I had already accidentely installed Home Basic before, but it didn't show my USB either. Can't it be a problem from Gigabyte? Because when I made a bootable USB (not this one), it needed special program called Gigabyte's Windows Image Tool to install drivers for USB.
 
the issue is windows 7 does not have the chipset drivers for the newer hardware. there only two ways of adding the drivers. one during the windows install. or making a new updated windows 7 iso using 7lite. with 7lite all you do is use the mb driver cd to add the missing drivers to the old iso image then make a new one. if not use windows 10 and use window7/8 key to turn it on or buy windows 10.

Ok, I think I should do the first option, but could you explain step by step, because I am not a PC specialist?

As far as I understand, I need intel chipset drivers. Do I need them in my bootable USB with my iso file, or get them in elsewhere? Do I need this ''advance mode'' from by BIOS? Also, I have a disc that came with Gigabyte motherboard, do I need to do something with it? Thanks for trying to help
