As stated in the title, will an ASUS Strixz Z270H motherboard work with Windows 7 (with an i5-6600k CPU) without any USB issues (and if so, is it mere USB 3.0 driver issues)?

Don't bother telling me to upgrade, etc etc, atm Windows 7 is the only OS in question.

You will have to integrate USB drivers into windows 7 installation first.
Without doing this, it's impossible to install windows 7 on your board
(unless you use sata connected DVD drive and PS/2 keyboard and mouse)

Use Gigabyte Windows USB Installation Tool (for Intel 100/200 chipset series boards) to integrate USB drivers
