# Gigabyte USB 3.0 Windows 7 Tool "Haswell+" (Modified)

## Overview  
This is a **modified version** of the official Gigabyte USB 3.0 Windows 7 Tool.  
The original utility was designed to inject USB 3.0 drivers into Windows 7 installation media, but it was limited in compatibility.  

The **"Haswell+" modification** extends support to both **Intel Haswell and newer chipsets** as well as **modern AMD platforms**, and allows the tool to run properly on **modern versions of Windows (Windows 10/11)**.  

### What this enables:  
- Create Windows 7 installation media with native USB 3.0 drivers.  
- Install and use Windows 7 on modern Intel and AMD hardware that no longer natively supports it.  

---

##  Features  
-  Injects USB 3.0 drivers directly into Windows 7 installation files.  
-  Compatible with **Intel Haswell and newer chipsets**.  
-  Compatible with **modern AMD platforms**.  
-  Modified to run on **Windows 10/11** (unlike the original release).  
-  Simplifies the process of creating bootable Windows 7 USB installers.  

---

##  Requirements  
- A **Windows 10/11 PC** to run the tool.  
- Original **Windows 7 ISO** or installation media.  
- **USB flash drive** (at least 8GB recommended).  

---

## How It Works  
1. Launch the tool on a modern Windows system.  
2. Select your Windows 7 ISO or installation media.  
3. The tool will inject **USB 3.0 drivers** into the `boot.wim` and `install.wim` files.  
4. Create a bootable USB stick with the patched files.  
5. Use the new USB installer to install Windows 7 on **Intel Haswell+ or AMD platforms**.

## Notes  
- This project is a **community modification**, not an official Gigabyte release.  
- The tool is provided **as-is** and should be used at your own risk.  
- Best suited for **enthusiasts** who want Windows 7 on modern Intel and AMD hardware.
