Its in uefi, i installing from a disc,

probably not gonna fly then disc is likely outdated
download a new iso and install from a flash drive
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool select save as iso and then format and create the usbkey using https://rufus.akeo.ie/ ( select GPT for UEFI from the drop down box and point to your flash drive and .iso)

*windows 7 will not support skylake for much longer might just as well skip it and install windows 10
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 same process as above use rufus instend of the microsoft native tool
* you can use your windows 7 key np

you are gonna need to shut her down and boot your other rig and create install media the safest bet is gonna be windows 10 I am not sure if the WU driver repo has B150 skylake drivers yet and I have no way of knowing if your lan connection is gonna work so it can pull what it needs
there is no 'offical' direct links to windows isos

 

[jboydgolfer]

im gonna do 7 . but the iso download page requires me to enter a key to start download, and the key we had donated isnt valid

im gonna quit with this now, im done for today UUGHH

i dont get it, i just built a brand new PC 4690 k z97 mobo, had NO issues

 

[OneMoar]

scratch everything I said
you can't it needs to be 10 =/ (unless your board has XHCI drivers in the WU repo which most do NOT)

we have to admit one thing though, Intel has absolute plausible deniability on this. No one can claim with 100% certainty that they are in league with Microsoft in trying to push Windows 7 users to finally get a move on. The reason for that is that the discarding of EHCI was inevitable sooner or later, and while they could have taken steps to remedy the problem easily, they have no compulsion to do so. The problem begins with the fact that Windows 7 does not have the code to support master xHCI based installation via USB, with only installation over EHCI allowed.

You might be thinking that one can always take the bootable DVD route and even though research indicates that dependence on optical drives is diminishing by the second, it has its own caveats. You better hope that your motherboard has a PS/2 port because even while installing from a DVD, the USB ports wont work (during the install setup). If you have just one PS/2 port you will have to switch your PS/2 based mouse and keyboard as required through the entire process. All this means that Windows 7 will be very very troublesome for people to install and in most of the cases, people will consider it not worth the effort. Even if you do get it to work, the lack of EHCI means there might be unforeseen compatibility issues in the future. Effectively, from Skylake, and thanks to Intel’s spec upgrade, Windows 7 is now officially an obsolete OS.

if you want windows 7 you are gonna need to run and get a ps2 keyboard
Microsoft really really wants windows 7 DEAD

this board has xhci enable/disable. but when i had it enabled, no mouse /KB power, off, and then they lit up, but no function.

its all moot, i cant download a ISO of win anything with the kay that was donated, it rejected it as OEM, or something prebuilt , blah blah

every KB i have Ever bought has PS2 on it, the memorial PC mobo has ps2 as well, but i gave my PS2 KB away

the windows 10 download tool doesn't require a key to start the download and it *should* take your windows 7 pro OEM key and activate so long as its a valid unused key
if the tool still asks for a key gimme a hour or two ill upload my iso

I've got Home and Professional Windows 7 .ISO's, just wouldn't know how to get it to you. I've had my keys rejected before as well, but the phone call usually does the trick.

I really wish Microsoft didn't get rid of their Digital River downloads for Windows 7...an .ISO is VERY hard to find.

windows 7 is not gonna install on this machine without a ps2 keyboard PERIOD END OF DISCUSSION!
whats concerning is is that download tool is spitting it as OEM which MAY mean the windows 10 won't take the key either way, do note that I have had the windows 7/8 version of the tool spit back perfectly good brand new keys before so take that with a grain of salt I am downloading a clean windows 10 ISO now give me a hour to upload it

Well it looks like the mouse and kb will arrive monday or tuesday.they were only 12$ for both,so no big deal.then the whole OS matter should be resolved.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Good luck everyone

I've got a spare Microsoft Elite Natural Keyboard - she's PS/2. By far my favorite keyboard I've ever used.....I have one at my work and one at home, plus a spare one. I also have a 5 button mouse that's PS/2 that I no longer use....

Seems you have the whole keyboard/mouse issue figured out, else I would have offered my spare ones for the cause.

 

[bubbleawsome]

Good luck everyone!
