Installing Windows 7 on a computer without a CD/DVD drive and with no option to boot from a USB port can be challenging, but there are still alternative methods you can try. Here's a possible solution:

Steps to Install Windows 7 Without CD/DVD Drive or USB Boot Option:​

  1. Requirements:

    • External USB hard drive or thumb drive with enough space for the Windows 7 installation files.
    • Access to another computer with a working CD/DVD drive.
    []

    Prepare the External Drive:

    • Connect the external USB drive to the working computer.
    • Format the external drive to NTFS file system to make it bootable.
    [
    ]

    Transfer Windows 7 Installation Files:

    • Copy the entire contents of the Windows 7 installation DVD to the external USB drive.
    []

    Make the External Drive Bootable:

    • Download a boot manager like Plop Boot Manager.
    • Install the boot manager on the external drive.
    • Configure the boot manager to allow booting from USB (even if the computer doesn't support it).
    [
    ]

    Connect the External Drive to the Old Computer:

    • Connect the external USB drive with the Windows 7 installation files to the old computer.
    []

    Boot from the External Drive:

    • Power on the old computer and press the necessary key to access the BIOS or UEFI settings.
    • Configure the BIOS or UEFI to boot from the external USB drive.
    [
    ]

    Install Windows 7:

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to install Windows 7 on the old computer from the external USB drive.

      Note:​

      • This method requires some technical knowledge and may not work on all systems.
      • Ensure that the external USB drive is prepared correctly to avoid any data loss.
      • It's recommended to seek assistance from someone experienced with installing operating systems if you're not familiar with the process.
      By following these steps, you should be able to install Windows 7 on your old computer without a CD/DVD drive and with no native USB boot support.
