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.
