I'm thinking about trying to install Windows 7, using Canonkong's modded drivers, on an X570 chipset motherboard; Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero.

Buying a PS/2 to PCI-Express card, might be useful, in case USB isn't available during the install process.

Aliexpress.com has at least three variants:

SE-U2M9990A-P2
MCS9990CV
IOCREST

Can anybody tell which one is best suited for the task?

I think we don't need to buy those cards, use an usbdisk to make a PE system in or use wintogo to run dism++ or winNTsetup to install the system and add driver in.

Ok, Canonkong, thanks for the advice.

What is your opinion about the new upcoming X570S (notice the S) motherboards? And also possibly Zen 6000 CPUs, both coming in late 2021?

Will your modded drivers work with those too? If they won't work, Do you plan to make new modded drivers for those X570S / Zen 3+?

@zuul

These boards will likely still have USB 3 ports, which Canonkongs driver will still work with.

So yes, these boards should work fine.

@zuul
I think it still support, if the mainboards still have csm funtion. I will modify the drivers to keep support.

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to this (modifying, testing, reporting, etc).

I am having no luck getting Windows 7 Ultimate to install on my new machine that I just built so far.

Motherboard: ASRock x570 Steel Legend
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: 2x8GB (16GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz
Video Card: Biostar AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster AE-9
NVMe M.2 SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 2TB
Optical 1: LG 16x Blu-Ray Burner
Optical 2: DVD-RW drive (with Lightscribe capability)

Every time I try to boot off of the flash drive, it gets a little bit into the the Windows Logo animation and then it BSODs:
0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFF880009A8F08, 0xFFFFF880009A8760)

Doing a quick search online and looking at a previous post in this thread, it suggests it might be a storage driver related issue.

I used NTLite to slipstream the Microsoft NVMe updates and canonking's drivers (which also included the Samsung NVMe driver if I remember correctly) and I used Rufus to flash it to a flash drive (used MBR instead of GPT).

I tried all of front USB ports (2 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports) and one of the back USB 3.2 Gen2 ports. No luck at all with any of them.

I do have some blank DVDs lying around so if a disc-based install is recommended instead, that is no big deal (I still use optical media a lot, haha).


I have CSM enabled and my BIOS revision is P3.50.

I should also note that I plan to install Linux Mint afterwards in a dual-boot configuration. I want to install both Windows 7 and Mint to my Samsung NVMe SSD.

I know one user in this thread has had luck with the ASRock x570 Steel Legend. So far, I love this motherboard so I really hope I don't have to sell it to a friend or someone else and go with another motherboard instead.


Any help would be gladly appreciated! Once again, thank you!

@StormSpotterJohn: I had the same Mainboard as you, together with R5 2600 CPU. Worked fine with Win7. I recently swapped the processor for a 5600X. And OS just crash after Windows Logo. I tried out different uefi versions, no way. It seems like canonkong already sad, Asrock doesnt work.

Tested MSI B450 Tomahawk Max and MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk. Both work fine with Win7+5600X and Drivers from canonkong!

@Mr_Nobody: Thanks for the reply! I'll take a look at those MSI motherboards and go from there. Funny how the Ryzen 5 2600 works with Windows 7 & Asrock but not the Ryzen 5 3600. Go figure, I guess.

I'll report back if it all goes well and/or if I have any more questions.

I have the same motherboard and CPU as yours, but I installed win7 successfully and used it normally. Your problem is that you did not choose the correct BIOS version. This motherboard only has BIOS version 2.60 and below to support the installation of win7! Now I switched to a 5600x CPU, but I can’t go back to version 2.60 (because Vermeer CPU is not supported). I can’t install win7 after trying many ways. I am also very upset. I specially registered an account in order to answer your question. I hope I can help you! wish you success!

@cityhopper: Thank you so much!!! I was about ready to either return the motherboard or sell it to a friend and go with the MSI MAG Tomahawk B550. I will definitely give re-flashing to BIOS revision 2.60 a shot. I took my Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 ISO that I had and slip-streamed the security-only updates, the Samsung NVME driver, and the modded Ryzen USB driver (I can't remember which one of the top of my head).

Hi everyone.
I am having a problem with the latest drivers. I have tried both the links provided (one is the B7, the other the B9), and both of them seem to give me random BSOD's which indicates a problem with those drivers. For the record, I have been using the very old B1 until now, and those were early modded drivers that didnt support X399, and I think not the 500 series chipsets either. But on my B350 + Ryzen 5 3600 combo, they worked great (no bsod).

The problem is, Easy Anti-Cheat is giving me problems, because some of those drivers are not digitally signed, so I think it falsely catches them as some kind of cheating mechanism.

It turns out, the problem driver is the amdxhci.sys. Its the driver that EAC is complaining about, so I updated it with the B7 and B9 drivers (I tried both). But even though I select the correct item on the installation (AMD USB3 Host Controller), Windows gives me a message saying that "Windows cannot verify that it is compatible with your hardware.

I looked into amdxhc.inf, and it doesnt have the required DEV_149C that the older driver (B1) had inside that .inf. The actual driver version for B1 is 2.0.0.0049, and for B7 and B9 its 2.0.0.0060. So the 2.0.0.0060 driver does NOT have the DEV_149C inside.
In the older 2.0.0.0049, I can even see that it says "DEV_149C ; Matisse" and that does indeed make it compatible with my hardware.

What do I do? All I want is a digitally signed driver compatible with my hardware, so that this damn Easy Anti-Cheat stops complaining. It wont let me launch the game without those digitally signed drivers.

Do I add the DEV_149C to the digitally signed driver? Will that work? How do I edit the text exactly?

Please help

@Morpheas

have you tried these drivers?
