Installation will not allow input.

[Winter Blue]

I am trying to install Windows 7 Pro on a HP Pavilion All-in-One, that came with Win 10 pre-installed. Once I get to the first menu screen, where you select the language, either it freezes or it just will not allow input from keyboard, mouse, and touch screen.

I have tried different iso files and different USB's and DVD's... still same problem.

Haaalp

Are all the usb port on the computer USB 3.0? If so windows 7 does not have drivers built into to allow keyboard and mouse to work during install.

I bought one of the Intel nuc computers and ran into the same exact issue, I tried to make a usb stick with 3.0 drives for windows 7 but could never get it to work, ended up just installing windows 10 on it.

it has an i5-6400T, 12gb sodimm DDR4, 1tb seagate 2.5" and the computer's model number is 27-a030. Also, Legacy mode is enabled.

The three ports are not labeled as 3.0, nor are they color blue, but they do hit 3.0 speeds when using 3.0 flash drives.
Sadly giving up and just using windows 10 is not an option. QuickBooks 2011 Accountant and Point of Sale do not play nicely with windows 10.. well in the case of Accountant, not at all.

So there should be 2 USB 2.0; 2 USB 3.0; 1 USB 3.0 (Type-C™) ports on that thing. so you need to find the usb 2.0 ports. Your next issue might be HP not having drivers for windows 7 for that computer.

I guessed at the model number. the computer is at work, I can get the actual model in a couple hours. It only has the 3 USB ports, an Ethernet port, and a HDMI port.

Got it to work via using the Intel Windows 7 USB 3.0 Creator Utility. Just had to flash USB 3.0 drivers onto my installation image.

Thank you for all your help and suggestions!
