Intel Skylake (100 series)/ Braswell platform have no EHCI controller and they only have XHCI controller. However, Windows 7 does not have the native XHCI driver, so the USB devices cannot work during installing Windows 7.


If you want to install Windows 7 on LIVA MINI PC and Skylake/Braswell Motherboard, you should add the XHCI driver into Windows 7 image and generate a Windows 7 installable USB thumb driver.
