Oracle Virtualbox 32 Bit Windows 7

Free

As you may know, Windows 7 doesn't support USB 3.0 by default. This is also why the installation of Windows 7 from an USB 3.0 key requires a little manipulation beforehand.

Click Here: Download Windows 32 Bit ISO. Click Here: Download Windows 64 Bit ISO. Step 2: Download and Install Virtualbox. Download the latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox which is the free virtualization tool that helps you run Windows 10 on your device. Oracle VM Virtualbox is a free open source software. Go through the entire installation. The guest operating system in Oracle VirtualBox is the operating system that is running inside the virtual machine. Many guest operating systems are supported by Oracle VirtualBox, such as Windows 7 (32/64 bit), Windows 8 (32/64 bit), Windows Server 2008 (32/64-bit, also R2), Windows Server 2012 (also R2), Debian, SUSE, openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora, Oracle linux, etc.

In short, because Windows 7 supports USB 2.0 by default and not USB 3.0, VirtualBox defaults to an USB 2.0 controller when you create a virtual machine to install Windows 7.

This is visible in the device manager in your virtual machine running Windows 7.

To use an USB 3.0 controller in a VirtualBox virtual machine under Windows 7, you must first go to the USB section of your virtual machine's settings.
Then, select : Controller 3.0 (xHCI).

In the Windows 7 guest operating system, you will see that Windows couldn't automatically install the driver for the used USB bus controller since it doesn't support it by default.

In the device manager, this 'Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller' will appear with a yellow icon as there is no driver for this device.

To solve this problem, you had to download and install the 'USB 3.0 Driver: IntelĀ® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for IntelĀ® 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family' provided by Intel.
Nevertheless, as was stated on the official website of Intel, this 'product' was at the end of life.
And today, this page and this driver are no longer available from their official website.

Fortunately, the 'Archive.org' site had saved these pages, as well as the associated driver.
So, you can download this official 'Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible' driver via the archive.org cache.

Bit

Once installed, Windows 7 will recognize this new USB 3.0 controller.

And you will find 2 new devices in the device manager :

  • Intel(R) USB 3.0-Root-Hub
  • Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible-Hostcontroller
