Okay, let's get started now.

#first. What to prepare?

1.1. Create a folder named as USB3 in the drive partition D, E .. (it's up to you). Here I will create the directory USB3 in the drive partition E Please.
1.2. Continue, in the directory USB3 You continue to create 2 subdirectories named driver and mount. This is very simple, isn't it 😀
1.3. Download the original Windows 7 installer, if you already have it, but if not, you can download it here or here!
1.4. Download the USB 3.0 driver corresponding to the machine, if you do not know then you can check the following: Right-click This PC => select Manage => then select continue Drvice Manager as shown below.
Now you pay attention to the driver of the USB. As you can see, my computer is on Intel USB 3.0 controller.

Now I will go on Google Search to search for Intel USB 3.0 driver. Search syntax as shown below => then access the results to download the file.

them-driver-usb-3-0-to-bo-cai-win-7 (10)

For other brands' drivers, do the same thing.

#2. How to add USB 3.0 driver to the Windows 7 installer

+ Step 1: After downloading, please extract the file. Then access the driver folder of the downloaded file (access to 32bit or 64bit versions depending on the version of Windows 7 you want to integrate.)
For example, the driver file I have just downloaded, I will access the following link:

Intel (R) _USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver_5.0.4.43_v2 DriversWin7x86
Because I want to integrate USB 3.0 for Windows 7 32bit so I will open the folder x86.

+ Step 2: Then copy all the files ending in.inf, .sys, .cat…. Generally copy all the files similar to the picture above into the folder driver located in the directory USB3 that we created in preparation.
In the driver folder, there will be files .cat .inf .sys:

File .inf A file containing information and commands to be run.
File .cat The file contains the certificate.
File .sys is the driver.

+ Step 4: You access the directory sources on the virtual drive you just Mount => then copy the file boot.wim Go to the USB3 folder you created in the preparation step.

After the copy is complete, you will be like this.

+ Step 5: You open the CMD window with Admin privileges so we can start using the command. Enter the following command in turn and press Enter to perform.

E:
cd USB3
dism / mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim / index: 2 / mountdir: mount

=> Then you wait for the program to perform Mount file boot.win. Run to 100% and have the success message as shown below OK.

+ Step 6: Continue, we will execute the command to add the driver to the file boot.win. You use the following command => press Enter:

dism / image: mount / add-driver: "driver" / recurse

=> Wait for the run to finish.

+ Step 7: Now we will execute the Save and Unmount file command. You use the following command:

dism / unmount-wim / mountdir: mount / commit

You also wait for it to complete. That's it then.

+ Step 8: If you want to repackage the modified Windows installation file, follow this guide!
