Hi, I'm facing an issue installing Windows 7 on a USB drive for a HDD. The ISO was downloaded from Microsoft, but when I try to boot via USB, it shows a black screen with no cursor. Disconnecting the HDMI causes a blank screen, which suggests the USB is not sending any signal. My graphics card doesn't appear in the system settings, even though it works fine on my main PC. I'm unsure if the problem is with the installation interface or a boot error. Have you checked if another PC with built-in graphics can handle this? Or should I try adding a GPU to the USB installer?

Primary scenarios identified: 1. Bootable USB fails to function. 2. Installation requires a USB3 port not supported by Windows 7.
