WIN7 User Guide
Win7 user may face some additional one time setup work because original win7 missed a updated .inf file
Win7 ships with correct 'winusb.sys' file. but is missing an updated '.inf' that associates with "usb\ms_comp_winusb" devices. Normally if the USB device supports Microsoft OS descriptors, then it will allow Windows to automatically install the WinUSB driver. This mechanism is supported "in-box" for Win8 and newer. For Win7 the mechanism is supported through Windows update. Depending on the update policy for the Win7 machine, the appropriate driver may or may not be already available on the machine. If it is not already on the machine, user can use the following manual procedure to install the driver if necessary.

Some windows update also included updated .inf file. You can try run uuu to see what happen. If windows report "can’t install driver", that means your system missed such update file.
