    Recently i bought Sager 8677 and here are the following things i need help..

    1.) Cant able to install USB 3.0 on windows 10 , cant able to find the drivers , nor can i install them , it states "the system doesnt meet the requires hardware" .. etc , is there a way or drivers to install USB 3.0 in windows 10

    2.) I tried to install windows 7 due to the above issue , but since 8677 has all USB 3.0 , and also i dont have a CD/DVD drive i have to install OS through USB only , but i couldnt able to do it. Tried to integrate USB 3.0 drivers in to the Windows Installation image through this article http://codeabitwiser.com/2014/03/how-to-install-windows-7-with-only-usb-3-0-ports/ , but when i boot i get "hal.dll" file missing or corrupt.

    3.) Is there a good color profile for this screen ? Also i could see the pixel lines in my screen , i have set the res at 1080p only , still i can see ,is there anyway to change the DPI to make screen smooth ?

    Windows 10 supports USB 3.0, no additional drivers needed. Where did you get your copy of Windows 10 from?

    And... where did you get your Windows 7 installation media from? You can try to copy that file over to your edited installation media from the original installation media..

    How did you do that without Windows installed? (In Windows, you can check out the display settings and then the "make fonts and other items appear larger or smaller" option; set it to 100% if it's higher.)
