Windows 7 on Acer Nitro 5?

I got tired of Windows 10, so I am attempting to install Windows 7 instead.

So fear, I changed the EUFI boot to legacy mode, then proceeded to install Windows 7 through a USB media. But, it appears there is one nearly fatal issue: USB ports will not work. I tried to grab a signed USB 3.1 driver and integrate the driver by selecting the XLM (if I recall format properly) to my Windows 7 installation, but my installation is still usb-less.

Any advice to fix the issues?

EDIT:

How to install Windows 7 on Acer 5 Nitro

1) Get NTLite and Windows 7 ISO

2) Press f2 while booting up the Acer Nitro 5
machine. 

3)Go to Boot mode and change to
"Legacy."

4) Set touchpad to "Basic."

3) Get a Windows 7 ISO and extract all
contents to a folder on the desktop

4) Open NTLite and select folder with
Windows 7 contents

5) In NTLite, select the Windows
installation folder.

6) Allow NTLite to load the installation

7) The left tab should have a 
components section. Integrate a driver
from there.

8) Create a new ISO

9) Burn to CD with rufus on MBR mode.
EUFI mode doesn't appear to work.
