Microsoft-provided USB drivers for controllers and hubs. Microsoft provides these set of drivers: For USB host controllers and hubs. For more information, see USB host-side drivers in Windows. You can develop a custom host controller driver that communicates with the USB host controller extension (UCX) driver. Device manager lists as drivers used for the AMD USB 3.0 and 3.10 eXtensible host controller, microsoft's own. Are there any other drivers I can use for the usb 3.x? Windows 10 pro - 1803 (updated) MSI X370 Gaming Plus (BIOS version 7A33v5C) Ryzen 5 1600. Chipset drivers.

Hello Tony,The USB 3.0 is supported by Windows 7 with the latest updates and service package installed. However, you will also need to consider to check your machine, if its hardware and BIOS is compatible with the USB 3.0.In the BIOS, there should be an option that will let your machine work with USB 3.0s.
Thus, will also allow the installation of the USB 3.0 controller driver, which you may obtain from the manufacturer's support/drive-download site.Here is an informative thread, with the very same concern:Keep us posted.All the best.
The Enhanced Host Controller Interface is not supported in the Intel chipsets starting from 100 and 200 series (B150, H110, H170, Q150, Q170, Z170, Intel Apollo Lake), similar AMD chipsets and chipsets from other vendors. Therefore USB 3.0 ports are simply not detected by the Windows 7 installer.To install Windows 7 correctly on some computer models, you can disable USB 3.0 mode in BIOS settings by switching to USB 2.0 compatibility mode (Legacy USB 2.0). In all other cases, you will have to modify Windows 7 install distro and integrate USB 3.0 drivers for your motherboard chipset to the boot and install WIM images. Some motherboard vendors released special tools to integrate their USB drivers into your Windows 7 installation image.
For example, ASRock (Win 7 USB Patcher), MSI (MSI Smart Tool), Intel (Windows USB Installation Tool for Windows 7), Gigabyte (Windows USB Installation Tool) and etc. But in this article we will show you how to manually integrate USB drivers into the Windows 7 Install image without using third-party utilities.All the operations of modifying of the Windows 7 ISO image, described below, are performed on a computer running Windows 10.First of all, find USB 3.0 drivers for your chipset and download them from the vendor website (in our example, it is Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Intel® 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family). Create a new directory c:tmp, and create two subfolders inside it: mount and USB3. Unpack the archive with drivers to the USB3 folder.
Inside the USB3 catalog you can create several subfolders with different USB 3.0 drivers for popular chipset models. Next, you need to update the Windows 7 install image (it may be an ISO file or a ready image copied to the ). Dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:tmpmount /commitdism /cleanup-wimSimilarly, you need to update the operating system installation image in the install.wim file. Here the main difference is that the install.wim image can contain several Windows 7 editions with different indexes. So, you will have to add drivers to that Windows edition you are going to install (or to all available Windows 7 editions in turn).You can list the available Windows 7 editions in the install.wim image as follows:dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:c:tmpinstall.wimIn our example, there are 4 different Windows editions in the install.wim image. We’ll add the USB 3.0 driver to Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL with the index 3 (this number will be used to address the edition using DISM).Then add the USB 3.0 drivers to the Windows image like we did it above:dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:tmpinstall.wim /index:3 /mountdir:c:tmpmountdism /image:c:tmpmount /add-driver:'c:tmpusb3' /recursedism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:tmpmount /commitdism /cleanup-wim.
