Welcome to Win-Raid. :)

I've MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard. I can't install XP x86 (in CD or USB pen) for BSoD 0xA5 (ACPI but press F7 for skip ACPI) and 0x7B (AHCI) nor not install Win 7 x64 (in USB pen) for the lack of USB 3.0 drivers.
But I tried to install W7 DVD... and I can complete W7 installer but I can't work mouse USB for the lack of USB3.0.

My motherboard doesn't have the IDE mode option in BIOS for not install XP.

NOTE: No any problems since Win 8.x installer and newer versions OS of installer.

@nuninho1980 Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

As you have already realized, it is not as easy as you thought to get outdated Windows Operating Systems installed and properly working with modern hardware.
Neither Microsoft nor the chipset manufacturers are offering XP or Win7 compatible drivers, which do support the latest chipsets and their Storage or USB Controllers. Since a simple addition of the missing HardwareIDs into the text of the related *.INF files usually doesn't solve the problem, you cannot find drivers for your specific project within the "Important Drivers" Sub-Forum.
My advice: Use your modern PC with a modern Operating System and get/buy a very old PC, if you want run XP or Win7.
If you don't want to follow my advice, please have a look into >this< (for XP) or >this< (for Win7) Sub-Forum. Maybe you will find there help.

Good luck!
