Hello, I've been trying to install windows 7 home premium 64bits on my new laptop Asus GL-552V...
It's a Free-dos but it came with the drivers of Windows 10 in a DVD. And I don't want to use it. I definitely want to keep using windows 7 for now and I've been installing the drivers one by one. Since it came absolutely clean.
USB, or ethernet connectors didn't work at all and I went through a harsh time trying to make them work.
But until now, I've not found a solution for the USB ports. I have 2 3.0 usb ports and 1 2.0 port. None of them work and I've tried every driver I've found so far. And of course, neither the touchpad would work.
So I have basically two big problems... the USBs and the touchpad.
Here's a few screenshots I've taken from the Device Manager:

Of course, clicking on "automatically update" wouldn't work at all. And windows update isn't giving me the proper drivers (I've used it since the start to check out any drivers out there)
The best option I thought of was to take it to an ASUS store but I don't have any in my city and I can't drive. So I can't just take my laptop to any store...
Anyone could help me?

I have already tried that on the GL552VW, you'll have a hard time.

Anyway, you can try with this one for the USB
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOTHERBOARD/Intel/Intel-USB-30-eXtensible-Host-Controller-Driver-40...
or you can use a program called Driver Booster to find the rest of the drivers.

If you actually manage to make everything work, you will still have problems, with average temperatures on the laptop hotter than in W8.1 or W10, and the fan running at full speed when starting any 3D application.

Apparently the USB were successfully installed but they still wouldn't work, if you check my screenshots those are the remaining drivers..
Thank you so much for your reply, I've been for about a month trying to find the proper drivers but this is how far I got and the USB wouldn't work at all...
I'll try the ones you've given me as soon as i can..
What could I do to deal with the heat though? I'd not like it to have bigger issues due to the overheat..

I don't know, I couldn't solve it, it adds like 20 more celsius degrees than it would on iddle in Windows 10 or 8
