Installing Windows 7 on Dell’s new Skylake-based Systems

It makes the system fast, even without using much power, but it causes an issue if a SysAdmin needs to install Windows 7 from their installation media - most notably, the USB drive is not available, and neither is the hard drive from the Windows 7 WinPE environment.
