4 | <title>No USB 3.0 Support in Windows 7 Guests</title> |

8 | If a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 guest is configured for |
9 | USB 3.0 (xHCI) support, the guest OS will not have any USB |
10 | support at all. This happens because Windows 7 predates USB 3.0 |
11 | and therefore does not ship with any xHCI drivers. Microsoft |
12 | also does not offer any vendor-provided xHCI drivers through |
13 | Windows Update. |
14 | </p> |
15 | <p> |
16 | To solve this problem, it is necessary to download and install |
17 | the Intel xHCI driver in the guest. Intel offers the driver as |
18 | the USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller (xHCI) driver for Intel 7 |
19 | Series/C216 chipsets. |
20 | </p> |
21 | <p> |
22 | Note that the driver only supports Windows 7 and Windows Server |
23 | 2008 R2. The driver package includes support for both 32-bit and |
24 | 64-bit OS variants. |
