Technically you don't, you can work with trial and error.
If you want to know how my batch files work feel free to inspect them.
My SP2.11 ISO has nothing special to do with Ryzen 3000 or X570, it is supposed to be the next family from me and the, hopefully, greatest change is the native xHCI support.
I don't think it really matters if you try to use your keyboard and mouse on a USB2.0 or USB3.x port, because all the USB ports are controlled by the cipset or the CPU in your case, there are no traditional USB2 and/or dedicated USB3.x chips, therefore they all use 'the same' drivers, or, like 'nowadays', with native xHCI support in Windows since Windows 8, they all use the built-in xHCI 'driver'. Unfortunately Windows 7 never got this native xHCI 'driver', so some people from the My Digital Life Forums backported this 'driver' from Windows 8, and my part is to try to use it for my SP2.11 release to make Windows 7 even better and a bit more compatible with younger platforms, on which xHCI is an important thing.
Yes, you need to go one directory higheron my download server.

For clarity:
Windows 7 Pro>(install.wim)
Index1 Microsoft Windows PE(x64)>boot.wim
Index2 Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)>boot.wim

I have this things:
- KB3033929
- modification drivers X570_149C_Drivers_B2
NETWORK: e1r62
NVME: secnvme
SYSTEM DEVICES: AMDIOV, AMDPCIDev, SMbusamd
USB DRIVER: AMD_USB3.2_WinA_Beta_9.0_7052 (AMDHub3, AMDXHCI), amdhub31, amdxhc31

Do I need enything else? Any more drivers or updates?

So, KB3033929 should be integrated with install.wim (Windows 7 Pro),
NETWORK,NVME,SYSTEM DEVICES and USB DRIVER with boot.wim Index1 Microsoft Windows Setup (x64)
That's correct?

@radek
I would first try it with just this USB driver in the boot.wim, it is not neccessary for the boot.wim to have a network driver or other accessories to be able to install on your motherboard, except the NVMe updates, if you want to use one NVMe drive to install on.
And, of course, one or more indexes in the install.wim needs this USB driver, otherwise you will be able to install, but can't use your peripherals when it comes to create your username and choose other settings (I recommend to disable automatic updates, it would be a waste of resources, I recommend to install some updates manually first and, if you want so, to install more later, but the last step is not required to make things work in Windows 7 and to stay 'safe').
It's not required to integrate network and other, not already, mentioned drivers and/or updates in one or more indexes in the install.wim, but it will make your live easier if you want to install Windows 7 frequently. (Or, like me, to be able to provide xHCI-, NVMe- network- and other capabilities for different platforms and chips).

I am not shure what KB3033929, does, maybe one or more drivers need it to work properly, just try it out, don't be shy to make mistakes.

Is it impossible to use Wi-Fi in X570 Dark Hero Windows 7 environment?


I have successfully installed Windows 7 on my X570 Dark Hero motherboard today.
After completing the installation, I checked the device manager.
All devices except Network Controller are properly installed and recognized.
The HARDWARE IDS of this Network Controller are as follows:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2723&SUBSYS_00848086&REV_1A
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2723&SUBSYS_00848086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2723&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2723&CC_0280
And this is confirmed by the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200.
I would like to ask if there is a driver that can use the Wi-Fi 6 AX200 in Windows 7.

hello all,

I'm trying to install Win 7 on the MSI TRX40 Pro 10G motherboard, have created boot USB using Rufus after using NTLite to integrate SHA2 updates and TRX40 drivers provided by @canonkong . As expected, got BSOD with xA5 error code because of the ACPI issue. I request @canonkong to please provide the mod acpi.sys (a big Thank You for the drivers and all the work you put into this!!).

Really looking forward to migrating back to Win 7 after being tortured by MS with all the Win 10 updates!!

@spacedrone808 not yet, I don't have acpi.sys file....I have tried and Win 7 install is failing.

I am hopeful that if this works out, I will be able to install on upcoming Threadripper Pro 3975wx with SuperMicro MB.

I am sorry I can't reply to you as I dont have privileges yet.

@Alex9999 Here is acpi mod: [Solution] Win7/8.1 Drivers for USB 3.0/3.1 Controllers of new AMD Chipset Systems (27)

Hi guys I don't want to install win10 on my new machine I think maybe I've come to the right place? Over the last week I've been trying to get win7 installed on Asus x570-Plus (wi-fi) with 5600x and nvme. I haven't been able to get it connected to the internet or get the usb fully working but at least the nvme seems ok so far.
These isos from patrickK sound really interesting are they fairly straightforward and effective to use? Where to start? deWin7x64_ProN_SP2.11.iso?
Thanks.

@desty To make things easier for me: Just try out my beta S2.11 ISO an let me know if it works for you. Keepo in mind you CMS and legacy settings in the UEFI.

@bloodhand, thx, I already tried that link, it doesn't seem to have any file.

@PatrickK is deWin7x64_ProN_SP2.11.iso the beta and is there a guide anywhere?

ok we're not off to a good start deWin7x64_ProN_SP2.11.iso black screens and locks up before even getting into the installer.

@desty If you need a guide on how to use an ISO, please google it.
What I want to mention that you are aware what MBR, GPT, UEFI boot, legacy boot and UEFI boot with CSM enabled means.

@PatrickK I'm aware how to use an ISO and I'v tried several over the last week or so. The fact that this one doesn't even get past the "starting windows" animation (before the installer) on my machine suggests it's not a normal ISO and abnormal steps not found in any normal guide are necessary to make it work.
Thanks
