[SOLVED] Does my motherboard can have a cable that convert from usb 3.0 to 2.0 ?

[chocolade13091972]

Now in my pc there are about 9 usb connections but they are all version 3.0 or 3.1 and to install windows 7 I need usb 2 port.
The reason is that if I install windows 7 through usb 3 port, on the setup screen the mouse and keyboard are not responding.

I saw in some places internal cables for the motherboard that convert from usb 3 to usb 2 for example :

מתאם USB3.0 זכר ל- USB2.0 נקבה פנימי ללוח אורך 30 ס''מ דגם 83281 | USB 3.0 כבלים ומתאמים | USB כבלים ממירים מתאמים ומפצלים | CABLE

and

מתאם USB3.0 נקבה ל-USB2.0 זכר פנימי ללוח אורך 30 ס''מ דגם 83095 | USB 3.0 כבלים ומתאמים | USB כבלים ממירים מתאמים ומפצלים | CABLE

Not sure what I need male to female or female to male but this cables should convert usb 3 to usb 2 I just wonder if I can connect this cables to my motherboard at all ?
If my motherboard will support it ?

This is my motherboard :

Z390 GAMING X (rev. 1.0) Key Features | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

and the main reason for all that is because I cant run battlefield bad company 2 on my pc after making clean install of windows 10 so I need to install windows 7 then install the game then upgrade to windows 10.
but I can't install windows 7 because the keyboard and mouse not responding when getting to the windows 7 installation settings screen. and I tried anything to fix it nothing worked so far.

another option can be to buy and put dvd burner inside my pc and burn windows 7 iso to a new dvd and then boot from that but again I'm not if it will work either.

I have the windows 7 iso file I just can't install it yet. I created a usb flash drive bootable of the windows 7 iso file but the keyboard and mouse will not work with the windows 7 installation and usb 3.

your mainboard doesnt have usb 2.0 ports
even if you use cable to convert from 3.x to 2.0, windows still wont have drivers
you can use USB 2.0 PCI-E adapters, windows 7 will read them
or use windows 7 USB 3.x drivers

this tool can create bootable windows 7 installation disk which will have usb drivers for your platform

Do you have or can you borrow a PS/2 keyboard as that's likely to solve this issue. You'd need to use keyboard shortcuts instead of a mouse though.

Z390 Gaming X has USB 2.0/1.1 ports - 2 on back panel and
2 ports available via internal USB 2.0 header.

Unfortunately USB 2.0 version is not the issue here.
USB drivers need to be integrated into windows 7 install media, before you can install it onto a modern system.
If you're installing on NVME drive, then also 2 hotfixes and nvme drivers need to be integrated into installation.

Use gigabyte windows USB install tool to integrate drivers/hotfixes.

Be aware that that Windows 7 is not supported on your motherboard (ie Gigabyte didn't release any Windows 7 drivers for it).
Drivers are only available for Windows 10 64-bit & Windows 11 64-bit as shown on downloads page:
