Looking for some help or some answers..

I can't run any of the newer gigabyte bios and have windows 7 boot. F14 is the oldest bios that I can boot windows 7 in.

I've done the plethora of troubleshooting and then saw someone on another board with similar problems who also fixed the windows 7 issue with using an older bios.

I'm curious about the new Ryzen 5000 series, is there a way to put the new chips microcode inside the F14 bios? Is it as easy as the intel chips? I have no experience with the amd side, but a while ago I did play around with UBU utility for intel. Someone please guide me, I'm curious if I will be able to use ryzen 5000 if this method is possible. Thanks in advance

Ask Gigabyte directly what setting is stopping Win7 from booting in new BIOS vs old F14 BIOS, then I can make the change for you, or you can change it if it's not hidden setting.
I don't think they are phasing out Win7 hard right now, so I doubt this is intentional, but probably just some setting you need to change that is now different than it's default in F14

Microcode can be put in easily, but it may require AGESA swapping too, which is near impossible on modern systems (or huge pain etc)

I think USB 3 and something else (driver-wise) is what causes install issues, but if already installed then it should be easier to sort out.
And, this is probably something they changed in BIOS, some setting related to USB functions, but just a guess.
