Recently I have installed win 7 on my external usb 3.0 sata 500gb hdd, using wintousb and rufus I was able to do so pretty easily.
The issues arise when I try to take advantage of usb 3.0 speed for my external Os drive, each time I try so it gets stuck on bsod.
In search of a solution I came across this article:
How does one install Windows 7 using USB 3?
which tells to slipstream drivers into usb stick to get advantage of usb 3.0 on during installation, I am not much familiar with slipstream but I can easily do the command part.
Can I add usb 3.0 drivers to boot entries of win 7 as a patch?
Does the usb installer flash made from above article do so by default?
What procedures I need to follow to add usb 3 support in my win7 installation?
Windows 7 cannot be installed from a 3.0 storage device unless you add the drivers to the .ISO being used. So there isn't a "flaw" its by design. – Ramhound – 2016-05-25T20:59:13.070
