Windows 7 installation media does not include native driver support for USB 3.0, so during
installation, when you get to the screen to select your preferred language, a keyboard or mouse
connected to a USB 3.0 port does not respond.
The Windows 7 USB 3.0 Creator Utility helps to update a Windows 7 installation image to include
USB 3.0 drivers.
NOTE: This application ONLY works on Windows 8.1 and later.
