Hi,

These days when creating and installing Windows virtual machines, I tend
to use ISO images for the install process.

Windows 7 ISO images can be downloaded from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7

If you wished to skip 7 and go with a clean install of Windows 10 and
use your 7 key, you can get 10 ISO images from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

With regard choosing USB. I choose USB 3 for Windows virtual machines as
I have been getting locks when selecting and using the USB 2 setting.

The drivers for your Windows guest should/will be primarily VirtIO.
These can be downloaded from:

A note on your previous mail. I have had issues adding USB devices (e.g.
USB sticks) in running virtual machines. Removing any USB redirectors
fixed it for me.

Regards

Phil Wyett
