If you want i225-V Lan work on win7. Download 25.2 version win10 driver and moddify the *.inf file than save and install.

hello does someone maybe have a windows 7 iso with integrated driver for x570? I would be very thankful.

@HazeOG Yes, there is someone that claims this, but you need to read enough posts in this thread to figure out who that is.

This motherboard comes exactly with Intel® I225-V. No internet is dealbreaker, unfortunately. Thanks for letting me know this, you are saving me hours of installation time.

Greetings

I'm following this thread for a while. I plan to buy a Ryzen 9 3900X CPU and a mainboard with X570 chipset and use it with Windows 7.

What are the obligatory requirements for a X570 mainboard with a Ryzen 9 3900X to run Windows 7?
As far as I understood USB 2.0 ports are required to install Windows 7 from a thumb drive and for proper keyboard / mouse support during the installation.

Another issue I didn't quite understand is with AGESA. Some users in this thread have reported problems with AGESA and I'm unsure to what I need to pay attention in that regard.

Becaus AMD have some bug about ZEN2 CPU on X570/B550 mainboard with the new v2 AGESA. Only ZEN/ZEN+ CPU/APU and Zen2 APU can work fine. So wait for the new bios.

windows7 won't boot on the combination of 3950x and AGESA Combo V2 1.0.0.2(V2 1.0.0.1).

---

Also mainboard manufacturers are now updating AGESA to support the new ZEN 3 Generation (Ryzen 5000 series). Are there known issues with that (backward compatibility with Windows 7)?

AMD didn't launch a new chipset with the Ryzen 5000 series; instead, the CPUs drop right into existing 500-series chipsets, like X570, B550 and A520 models. These boards require an AGESA 1.0.8.0 (or newer) BIOS to boot a Zen 3 processor, but AMD has been shipping silently shipping supporting BIOSes since summer. As a result, every 500-series motherboard on the market should have a downloadable BIOS available.

While the early BIOS revisions ensure the processors will work on the most basic level, you'll have to update to an AGESA 1.1.0.0 (or better) BIOS for the best performance. These revisions will be available for all 500-series motherboards by the November 5th Ryzen 5000 series launch date. However, many motherboard vendors are already distributing newer BIOS revisions with enhanced functionality.

OK, so an external PCI card with USB 2.0 ports would work?

@Shodan2000
That BIOS ACPI issue has already been fixed.
Please use newer version than AGESA ComboV2 1.0.8.0

To use USB ports, integrate the following drivers and updates into windows7 SP1 ISO

Thank you both PatrickK and isopc1999a for your answers.


So to summarize to
-To be on the safe side the mainboard you should have a USB 2.0 port for installation via thumb drive and PS2 ports for keyboard / mouse
- BIOS / UEFI must have a legacy mode (CSM)
- There are no general problems with AGESA and installing / running Windows 7

Is that right?


I gathered this CPU / mainboard combos from this thread which have been stated to work with Windows 7. Can anyone confirm it or add working combinations?

ASRock X570 PRO4 / Ryzen 5 3600
Asrock X370 Taichi / Ryzen 7 3700X
X570 Gigabyte Aorus elite / Ryzen 3600
GIGABYTE X570 I Pro Wifi / Ryzen 3950X
X570 Aorus Elite (BIOS:F11) / Ryzen 7 3700X
MSI X570 Gaming Plus

just tried with
MSI B450 PRO VDH PLUS and Ryzen 3600, but USB3 would not install (149C) ; maybe i am doing it wrong;
installed the AMD CHIPSET Driver first (those from AMD Site directly), afterwards the modified driver from here AMD_1.0.0.12_MOD_Win7, but it would not install properly due to missing driver signature.
Hardware ID is
PCI¡VEN_1022&DEV_149C&SUBSYS_7A381462&REV_00

EDIT: it seems to have worked out after a restart;
now all exclamation marks are gone; the USB3 seems active; thank you very much, this is great to be able to continue using Win7 on AM4 with newer CPU at full effect.

B450 PRO VDH Plus + Ryzen 5 3600 success here with USB3 Mod Drivers!

Does anyone have Ryzen 3000 on X570 Board with Latest AGESA Combo V2 1.1.0.0 or maybe 1.0.8.0 and get Windows 7 working?
I dont know if its only an issue with the ASRock X570 Taichi i have, since BIOS version 3.4/AGESA Combo V2 1.0.8.0.
Since i updated the BIOS to latest Version, Windows 7 does not boot. I immediately get a bluescreen when trying to Start Windows 7 or when Windows 7 Setup is trying to load from USB Stick.
It was working with older BIOS Versions.

Someone said that Windows 7 support is removed in latest AGESA versions, whatever this means.

@VelleX noticed a similar issue, although without BlueScreen,with the A300 from AsRock.
Whichever method i tried for making the USB Stick (Asrock Tool or Gigabyte Tool), it resulted in a strange situation: the Windows 7 stick would start to boot, but then hang at the Windows Splash Screen.
