@spacedrone808 , very nic(h)e setup, i like. is the gigabyte belongs to Asus now or did you buy/construct a Frankenmobo=?

Hello everyone,

It has been a while and I wanted to give an update on running Windows 7 with an ASRock x570 Steel Legend motherboard with the latest modded drivers.

I have had no issues with anything at all whatsoever (including the Intel I211AT), other than sometimes a USB 3.0 flash drive is not recognized in a USB 3.0 port at first unless it is first inserted (and then unmounted and disconnected) from a USB 2.0 port. The same thing sometimes will happen with a USB 2.0 flash drive in a USB 2.0 port. However, with a USB 3.0 4-port hub I have, everything seems to be recognized with no issue at all whatsoever each time I have used it.

The USB 3.2 ports that are attached to the motherboard itself - all the ones that I have tested work flawlessly. Excellent read and write speeds all around!

So despite the awkward USB recognition that can occur every once in a while (it depends on your flash drives too), it works flawlessly.


I have been running Windows 7 on this system for a little over a month now and I have to say, it runs quite well. Would I recommend the ASRock x570 Steel Legend for a modern Windows 7 machine? BIOS version 2.60 is the last revision that can run Windows 7 without the dreaded A5/7E BSOD, so only Matisse (3000) and older Ryzen processors are supported. Anything newer (like Renoir) requires 2.70 onward and due to that, Windows 7 will not work with those revisions.

So if you don't mind that drawback, it's a pretty solid motherboard for Windows 7. If you have one of these motherboards and a compatible Ryzen processor laying around as well, I say go for it!

If you have any usb problem，I think you can use the win8 port driver，you can find it 2# I post.

if we are able to get this kind of drivers and support for the usb controller. why is there no workaround for the Intel wifi 9260 on the x470 boards as well running windows7?

Thanks!

Because WiFi drivers usually uses latest version of KMDF, which cannot be ported to Win7.

Situation of WiFi6 drivers is even worse, MS created a framework exclusively for this specification, obviously available on Win10+ only.

That's great news that everything has been working well with your Windows 7 installation. If you have some time, you might want to list all the drivers which finally worked for you, their version number , and where you got them. That way anyone else with an ASRock x570 Steel Legend would have an easier time using Windows 7.

Crosshair VIII Extreme has 2xThunderbolt 4 ports, and the Marvell AQtion AQC113CS 10G LAN and ALC4082 upon checking the 10G LAN controller 113CS used in there from official Marvell doesn't have the Windows 7 support, Upon checking Station drivers up until AQC107 they have Windows 7 drivers. So is it safe to assume Soundcard, LAN (10G only, as the other 2.5G is Intel 225V which can work with 7), TB4 on that board won't have Windows 7 drivers ? (A massive bummer as Extreme board is full feature packed)

Just wanted to think over the Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (which works 100% with Windows 7) vs Extreme for AMD as the X570S is probably used on that Extreme and maybe a new stepping of the Chipset silicon. Really torn on deciding the platform and boards because of USB drop out and WHEA. Also Dark Hero 2nd PCIe slot cannot be used if we have a Triple slot GPU.

Thanks.

Edit - MSI X570S ACE MAX (Another great mobo with flexible PCIe options and ton of SATA ports) also has the same USB ALC4082, I think from now on we will only get this Audio chipset. I checked the driver, it only have Windows 10 support. Anyone has any experience with this Audio chip working on Win7.

Hello, my another question>

all Asrock X570/B550 wont work with Windows 7? If yes, why?
can Biostar function?

Thank you.

PLUS> is there any chance to get an add/in card with Thunderbolt functioning under Windows 7?

i am missing something. When using PatrickK's iso on my Dark Hero Viii with the 5950 CPU, i get stopped on the looking for drivers screen. Mouse works ok, and i can browse all the drives. Any ideas?

Thanks
