So I upgraded my Motherboard to the Gigabyte Z390, booted up Windows 10 and... much to my astonishment... it just WORKED.
It even autodetected my 4K TV and set the resolution and icons to their optimal settings without me having to lift a FINGER.
...then I booted into Windows 7.
Apparently there's some problem with Windows 7 and native USB 3.0 motherboards.
Originally I couldn't use the mouse OR keyboard...
Fortunately my wireless Logitech also came with a PS2 port. Which means at least I can use the keyboard portion...
...no such luck with the mouse.
Fine... fine... Put in the disc... The Gigabyte GUI ONLY SUPPORTS MOUSE!
FINE! Shift-F10... open the disc... install the drivers manually.
All goes smoothly UNTIL windows warns me the driver isn't signed and asks if I want to accept...
...but you can only accept with a mouse!
So I picked up my desktop... hurled it through the closed window... and killed evvvvvvveryboy!
Sigh... Or not.
My previous motherboard was ALSO a Gigabyte... and also had USB 3 ports... no trouble at all. I didn't reinstall Windows 7 because... at some point... I want to UN-install windows 7. So it's the same install... it's just not detecting any of the USB ports.
Any ideas?
