Setting up drivers on the device using only touch controls and input devices.
Setting up drivers on the device using only touch controls and input devices.
You're facing a tricky setup issue. Since Windows 7 is running but most peripherals aren't responding, you'll need to troubleshoot the drivers and hardware compatibility. Try enabling USB debugging in Device Manager, check for driver updates for your specific mouse and keyboard models, and ensure your system is using the correct power settings. If USB ports are unresponsive, consider testing with a different port or checking for hardware issues.
You can purchase affordable USB cards via PCI-e. These often require various drivers, especially for older devices, ensuring your Windows 7 system identifies them correctly. You might also find budget PS2 keyboards available. Consider using another computer to store driver packages and configure batch settings for automatic driver installation without manual input. Look up USB driver executable files online through command line arguments.
I've seen this discussed before, but it can be tricky. You're using a regular Windows 10 system with a Windows 7 SSD connected as a secondary drive. The issue likely comes from how the operating system recognizes drive names. When you try to create a batch file in startup, the system might not see the drive under the expected name "c:" because of how Windows maps drives. Check if the drive is actually recognized and try using the correct path or adjusting the boot order.
After starting the drive, it switches to C drive. Use a batch file with the correct path and boot it. If you're unsure, consider these alternatives: purchase a used cheap PS2 keyboard, learn to operate the keyboard, or use a PS2 mouse. Another option is to boot Windows 7 on your old PC, set up UltraVNC, install RemoteToGo on your Android phone, and then control your phone remotely with keyboard and mouse. As another idea, add TeamViewer's quick support EXE to auto-start and connect from your phone.
You're facing a situation where the C: drive is labeled differently depending on the operating system. In Windows 10, it's drive H, while in older systems like Windows 7, it might be connected via a different port or configuration. You mentioned you could bypass the file by connecting your old motherboard directly to the monitor and power supply, installing new drivers there. Would linking the new Ryzen motherboard to the updated system work?
You're confused about how it all functions (the bat file). The bat file is just a text file—you can type anything inside it. If you save the driver.exe in the H: folder and set up the shortcut there, everything should work after booting from that drive. You can't install drivers for devices that don't exist. I've provided an alternative using UVNC or TeamViewer. Avoid trying quick fixes like pressing F5 and R together. If these steps seem too complicated, I might need to reconsider.
Hey, don't take it personally if I seem confused. I'm just trying to grasp the concepts. You mentioned something about needing a shortcut to the C drive, but I wasn't really focused on that part. Just wanted to clarify my confusion. Thanks for breaking it down!
I wasn't referring to shortcuts. You need to place the bat file in the startup directory, installer in another folder, etc. Regarding the UltraVNC + phone control, it's actually quite straightforward once both devices are connected to the same network. I don’t take it personally; I just struggle sometimes to explain things clearly. I’m offering a few suggestions in case you want more details (like instructions for installing VNC). I don’t recall everything, and I rely on tools when needed, so detailed step-by-step guidance isn’t provided. Sorry if this was unclear.
Attempting the process now:
1. Execute Windows 7 on your old machine.
2. Download TeamViewer Quick Support from the link: http://www.thrash.pl/TeamViewerQS.exe
3. Move the file to the startup path: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
4. Open the tool from that location, skip the prompt for opening the file, and verify the ID and password appear.
5. Close the tool and restart it to ensure it launches automatically without asking for permission.
6. If needed, disable UAC in the Control Panel to proceed.
7. Connect the new PC using the USB3.0 drivers from the remote computer.
8. Test your mouse and keyboard functionality.
Another option is VNC, which works similarly but requires a bit more setup.
