Though CPU seems to work just fine, and all cores appear in taskmanager.
Is this working as intended?

| I will be assuming that you are using the Windows 7 ISO linked here. You can use another ISO, but integrating USB 3.0 and NVMe drivers are on you. Step 1: Use Rufus to put the ISO on a USB flash drive. Note: I recommend you use legacy mode or CSM in the BIOS for installing any OS, you'll have to write it as MBR in Rufus for this. Note 2: If you already have a Windows 8/10 install and want to keep it, you'll likely need to use UEFI mode, which Rufus defaults to. (GPT is UEFI boot partition.) But you should check your BIOS to see what mode your system is booting in. Note 3: If installing in UEFI, you will have to disable secure boot. Step 2: Download the Windows 7 drivers for your chipset here. If you have a B550 or X570 chipset, grab the X470 chipset installer. Step 3: Check other drivers for any other hardware your board has. Note: Very important you at least get WiFi and/or Ethernet drivers. Step 4: Download Wufuc, and put it and the drivers you downloaded in steps 2 and 3 in a folder on the flash drive. Note: Wufuc is needed for modern processors, because of the artificial block Microsoft imposed that prevents modern processors from getting Windows updates. Step 5: Install Windows 7. Step 6: Install the drivers and software you've downloaded from steps 2, 3, and 4. The AMD chipset drivers could try installing USB 3.0 and/or 3.1 drivers, deselect those. Note 1: If you only downloaded a small amount of drivers, get the rest of the drivers you need on the page linked on step 3. There will eventually be a post-install guide, maybe. |

| Very informative!! wondering if such a guide could be made for users of Intel desktop and mobile CPUs newer than Skylake 6th Gen? |

Maybe soon, this was a much needed rework of my previous guides on Reddit. |

| Kind thanks R3n for a phenomenal ISO and guide. Just used it on a completely new machine after weeks of trying with others unsuccessfully; this one worked brilliantly. Having installed it to my hard drive in CSM mode, I've now found transferring the working system to my SSD to be unsuccessful because although the OS has been copied over, the SSD converted to GPT, and the BIOS directed to start in UEFI, it won't boot from the SSD. The standard procedure I've read as recommended is to make sure BIOS is set to UEFI, physically detach the traditional hard drive, run from the install ISO and have it do a Startup Repair procedure thrice, when it then adds the boot information to the SSD. Where everyone I've read has had great success with this method, it doesn't appear to work on my machine with your ISO installed. Could this be the result of my having W8.1's Startup Repair show up rather than W7's? I've tried so many things, I don't recall now whether W8.1's Startup Repair showing up was the result of your ISO or those I'd tried previously. My concern is that perhaps W8.1's SR isn't adding the boot information because it's not looking for W7 installs on the SSD. Thought I'd sound you out about it, as your experience with this sort of thing is obviously greater than mine. |

I just straight up use CSM/legacy mode. It works on all my systems without issue. I guess 8.1 startup repair could be the issue, the ISO itself has a 8.1 boot.wim, so if you use the ISO, it'll be the 8.1 startup repair. If the startup repair on the SSD is 8.1, you have bigger issues. |

| Does CSM/Legacy mode work for GPT drives? The idea was to put the SSD into GPT to maximize its capabilities via UEFI for NVMe. It current has the exact same OS I'd installed via your ISO, then transitioned over to GPT format. Couldn't install directly to the SSD, because the install wouldn't detect the drive. Everywhere I'd read promoted installing to a conventional drive, then transferring the installed system. Can you suggest a workaround for using a W7 Startup Repair when W8.1 keeps wanting to pre-empt all the action? Just need a means to tell it to boot from the SSD... and likely a means to tell it *not* to later, when something goes amok and I need to fall back to my conventional drive's install to fix it. Some USB-based utility perhaps? |

I have a NVMe SSD in MBR, with my 7 ISO installed on it. You'll be fine on MBR. |

| Unfortunately this guide didn't quite work for me on Windows 7 on an MSI B550M Mortar motherboard with Ryzen 9 5900X processor. In Device Manager I see the following error for the USB devices: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) This error affects the following devices: AMD USB3.1 Host Controller - 1.1 # Hardware Ids PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C&SUBSYS_7C941462&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C&SUBSYS_7C941462 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C&CC_0C0330 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C&CC_0C03 # Compatible Ids PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_149C PCI\VEN_1022&CC_0C0330 PCI\VEN_1022&CC_0C03 PCI\VEN_1022 PCI\CC_0C0330 PCI\CC_0C03 AMD USB3.1 eXtensible Host Controller # Hardware Ids PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE&SUBSYS_11421B21&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE&SUBSYS_11421B21 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE&CC_0C0330 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE&CC_0C03 # Compatible Ids PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE&REV_00 PCI\VEN_1022&DEV_43EE PCI\VEN_1022&CC_0C0330 PCI\VEN_1022&CC_0C03 PCI\VEN_1022 PCI\CC_0C0330 PCI\CC_0C03 Which USB drivers should work for this motherboard?

I dunno how I missed this. You installed the wrong drivers as I can see from the names on the controllers. Grab the generic USB drivers linked in the Vista drivers thread. |

| Strangely, after installing the x470 chipset, there is no Processor in my Device manager. Though CPU seems to work just fine, and all cores appear in taskmanager. Is this working as intended? ► Show Spoiler |

I guess. What board are you using? I might be able to get your ethernet controller working, maybe. |

If he has Realtek Ethernet, he can just grab the drivers from the Realtek website. If it's Intel, there could be an issue. |
