• dvd iso, install windows 7, usb, usb flash drive, usb pen drive

• Press F8 when booting windows to access the menu that has the 'allow unsigned drivers' option, and select that option. Once in windows, you can install properly, but you have to do this trick every time you use it, and windows will likely bitch about the unsigned driver when you don't, OR: While in Windows, open the start menu, then select 'run'. Next type in to the white box and press enter: Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON This hidden option will make it permanent. If you want to go back to normal follow the above instructions, and input this command instead: Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF Description of the option is here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/the-testsigning-boot-configuration-option This is for Windows Vista / Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) Win 8, 8.1, and 10 = Out of luck, unless you can make it work in a Virtual Machine, with one of the above versions of windows, and trickhidden settings, of course!

I tried to email the author from his site, but there is no reference to his email address, so maybe he will find it here and implement / revise.
