I slipstreamed using this https://www.win-raid.com/t4960f52-S...m/t4960f52-Solution-Win-drivers-for-USB-Controllers-of-new-AMD-X-mainboard.html and this guide https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/ryzen-strictly-technical.2500572/page-11

I copied dism.exe, boot.wim and install.wim into a folder "7USB" in C: drive.
Then made two subfolders "boot" and "install" in them.
Copied those files to the folder and gone into with Command Prompt.
Also, extracted the driver archive contents to a folder called x570 in 7USB. Doesn't matter if it's in subfolders, because DISM picks it up as inf files and finds them automatically.

DISM /mount-wim /wimfile:boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\7USB\boot
DISM /image:c:\7USB\boot /add-driver /driver:x570\ /recurse

(you only needed /forceunsigned back in old days as 64-bit win7 requires driver signing, these drivers are modded but SHA-1 signed so Win7 does not complain.)

Then to finish the wim,

DISM /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\7USB\boot /commit

And same for install.wim, except i only wanted Ultimate, so i did

DISM /mount-wim /wimfile:install.wim /index:4 /mountdir:c:\7USB\install
DISM /image:c:\7usb\install /add-driver /driver:X570\ /recurse
DISM /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:/7USB/install /commit

If everything went right, you should get something like '1 - .... The driver installation completed successfully.' etc on each .inf file it found for your USB drivers.

May be off-topic now, but i removed any other editions than Ultimate, which i slipstreamed, using this (thanks to this https://superuser.com/questions/1065108/remove-editions-of-windows-7-iso )

Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\7usb\install.wim /SourceIndex:4 /DestinationImageFile:C:\7usb\install4.wim /DestinationName:"Windows 7 Ultimate"

And deleted the original install.wim, and renamed the install4.wim to install.wim. Copied both into my Win7 USB pendrive in 'sources' folder, which was a Windows 7 multi-edition Polish ISO, updated already-slipstreamed from August 2017. I formatted in MBR in Rufus as BIOS (Or UEFI-CSM).

Booted to pendrive and installed using keyboard and mouse on back USB 3.0 ports just fine, pendrive included on back too.

Performance once installing my LAN driver for my AX370-Gaming 3 and Radeon 19.7.2 for my RX 470 on a R7 3700X was stellar, about 300+ fps in CS:Go on 128tick with max settings, which i was impressed how smooth it was vs. 10 on default settings (anyone who played games like CS:Go know that max settings are not that fluid, so seeing this, along with very nice mouse input, even with m_rawinput=0 was great.)

Oh, and i should mention, GPT install can be done in CSM, but i converted my SSD to MBR to install in legacy mode. No performance loss due to that, low CPU usage and fast SSD copying as always.

Here's my terrible imgur album of this when i had 7: https://imgur.com/gallery/ZgM3B72

Now i use Windows 10 Oct 2018 LTSC 2019, since i need it for my Gigabyte 1gb/s + wifi/bt5 pci-e card so i can use wifi in a wifi-only home i moved back after the holidays, but the slipstreaming of this is just a few command lines and you can always google, happy to help.

What is "Windows 7 PL 2017"?

 

Hello,

Thanks for the guide!

I have Ryzen 5 3600 with Asrock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac and windows 7 works fine, but I still have some undrivered devices in device manager. Could you help what drivers are those would need? Also there is still one "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" and this does not want take the driver trick. For the another one has worked.

 

anyone help with this .. got it on my sons x470 ..
can't figure it out even if I put win 10 on it's the same

 

Hi @Boxman I really appreciate the help, it is a blessing to have members as yourself helping those who still wishes to use Windows 7. It is unfortunate that you method only seem to work with X370 and X470 chipsets as I can confirm using the USB 2.0 port on my X570 does not work..... it is seriously frustrating to say the least, but thanks again, it is great having members that try to help. The joke is two weeks ago I was using a X470 mobo, but unfortunately lost it due to a memory bank failing.

which x570 mobo out of interest? Did you try using a pcie-usb2 card, the onboard usb2 header (for front ports) or rear usb2 ports?


also which x470 mobo let you down?

 

@VPII there's a guide here on how to get win7 running - you should be able to do it by the sound of it if you need/want to.

Thank you kindly my good sir.... I will surely try this out.

 

That video is sucks because too long and why would I buy that PCI device if Windows 7 USB patcher works from Asrock? Also he can only install to SATA drive and not to Nvme? Come on...
I still have those parts undrivered, but I do not even know what are those, so I leave them, everything working although.

Btw,
I have the nvme drivers from here,
https://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html

The unpacked driver must be on pendrive. In Windows 7 installation you have to navigate there a load driver. After it will see the Nvme SSD and you can selet it for installation destination.

 

Im not worried about telemetry, its more about the stability, when i used an ISO with latest patches etc. from 2019, i got constant BSODs with BAD_POOL_HEADER on the same setups, stock or OC with a 2019 patched, i assume it is because they support older CPUs more with the Spectre stuff on 7 than newer, but i could be wrong, either way, 2016 LTSB 01-2019, MBR works, Win7 works on my board only in MBR mode so CSM, 2019 LTSB (1809) GPT/MBR. I know it has something to do with driver signing because literally my mouse and keyboard would get sluggish, system would slow down. I can not pin point it to typical superfetch or my disk because it was not doing that ever with the older 7.

 

i got constant BSODs with BAD_POOL_HEADER on the same setups, stock or OC with a 2019 patched

You should try only using the Security Only Quality Updates, and see if those cause the same issues

 

Rn i'm using LTSC, but when i go to 7 again, sure.

Hi,

Thank you for the trick !

I just finished installing my new setup. Everything working fine from now. Although i have 3 unknown "pci" device in the device manager. Installed all driver from mobo manufacturer (x470 msi). Any tip ?

 

I am still on 2600, but thanks a lot. I saved both the guide and the video posted here for future reference, in case i decide to move to 3000.

 

I had trouble with my Blue USB (RED worked fine) with Ryzen 5 2600x with win 7 on ASUS x470 Gaming. Asus could not fix it and told me to RMA. I never did and My immediate solution was to purchase a PCI usb hub from walmart. 9 months later windows served me 2 AMD updates dated like a few years back that would not work. I decided to go to AMD's website and poke around for my x470 board and found a driver bundle that fixed my problem. I also learn it is a good idea to keep a PS2 mouse and keyboard and a CD drive on hand.





Sorry if this doesn't help but I feel your pain trying to get full use of your board.

 

This modded USB driver actually is not good, cause blue screen time to time. I had to reinstall Windows 7, now without usb driver everything is perfect.

 

Hello Alexshunter ,


you say withouth usb driver everything is perfect,
but can you then use USB devices or not?

I am on X470 + Win7 and planning to upgrade to Ryzen 3000 sooner or later.


Thanks

 

The front two USBs are working, while on the back side two are not working from the five. And what is interesting is from the three working on the back side one is USB3.1. So altogether with the front ones I have 5 working usb ports with my Ryzen 5 3600 and with Asrock Fatal1ty X470 Gaming-ITX/ac. Of course before i installed Windows 7 i used Asrock usb patcher, i think that is what made my most of USBs to work or maybe just the AMD chipset driver. And because of that two not working USBs, I m not gonna install modded driver, unless proven they are good and not causing blue screens.

 

Just sharing and sayin here.

I tried dropping my 3600x into my ASRock x470 Tachi Ultimate and with Win 7 64 bit it literally stopped all USB function even though it had been working with the 2700x. Drivers refused to install or said they had but actually didn't.
Add-in USB cards too were ignored/rejected, tried a PCI-E 2 port USB card and it was always seen as "Unknown" and had a driver problem, nothing I tried would fix it. After popping the 2700x back in everything started working again, I did have to let it reinstall the drivers but that was it.

Making me think for my x570 and the 3600x, using it will be a pain.

I can try it with Linux and see if it installs properly or not - Alot of work for me just to test that but I also know one day I'll have to find out anyway so......
Yeah, I'll try it before long to find out.

 

Why not just use Win10? I have two Ryzen rigs (Gen 2 and Gen 1+). The OS of one is an image of the other. I just installed a new key on the imaged drive. This Win10 is about 2 yrs old. Everything works.

EDIT: Is it cos of HWBOT?

 

Wanting to dual boot Win 7 (have some apps that run my telescope I can't update) and Win 10 on Asrock Phantom gaming X with 3900x cpu. Put it together and got windows 7 installed and running fine...no BSOD no crashing. I do have 4 devices that need drivers (have not started installing 10 yet).
Bluetooth adapter
Ethernet controller
Network Controller
PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller
It is the 2.5G Lan that is not working.
Also I don't have my GPU yet and used an old AMD HD 7800 to get it up and running. It would not display in the first PCIe slot but when moved down it works fine. Is it normal or a problem with MB?

Anyway thanks a bunch to all of you for your hard work. I will retire my Xeon x5492 CPU on a Gigabyte GA-45EPT-UD3LR (pin mod) motherboard.

 

I'm not endorsing it but here's a cheat sheet for using Windows 7 on this platform as far as I can remember. If you have the free time DON'T try to sideload drivers into an installation file. Install the OS and set up your drivers in a virtual machine (Virtualbox is free). After you're done image the virtual machine with Veeam Agent (free edition) and use the Veeam iso to restore directly to your host's SSD or Hard Drive. This will probably help you avoid headaches, especially when you want to use an NVMe drive as boot.

First step - getting files from AMD's chipset drivers:
Run the AMD chipset installer and don't close it. Check X:\AMD or %ProgramData%\AMD and you should find the drivers.

NVMe drives:
You need KB3087873 and KB2990941 to get your NVMe drives to even be recognized. These hotfixes are discontinued so you have to get them from shady internet sites. Make sure the file you're running is digitally signed by Microsoft.

The ones I have are:
Windows6.1-KB3087873-v2-x64.msu
SHA256: 6D511FB126495579F681ECF5F405

2DCB2C4C21154A0A9FAA5D9D8AE06D4BE538
Windows6.1-KB2990941-v3-x64.msu

4BF511F3A7F5F776A0A91357ACA060039A99C6A93A16


After installing those hotfixes you'll have generic NVMe drivers. If you want maximum NVMe performance you can replace them with Intel drivers (yes it works and they have higher R/W performance, no I don't know why).

WARNING: Replacing storage controller drivers ALWAYS has a chance of making your OS unbootable. You should be boot again by going to the "Windows failed to boot" screen but this isn't always guaranteed. Only do this if you know what you're doing!
https://www.win-raid.com/t29f25-Recommended-AHCI-RAID-and-NVMe-Drivers.html#msg61

Go to device manager and browse to your NVME controller.
Update Driver > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have disk> Pick the folder the drivers are in

If you did everything right it'll prompt you to select from a bunch of Intel SSD drivers. It doesn't really matter which one you use, but try Intel(R) SSD Pro 7600p.

USB drivers:
Modding the official AMD drivers doesn't work. Sometimes you'll BSOD on startup and sometimes you don't. These hacked drivers someone on the internet made work perfectly. They're signed so you don't need test mode.

WARNING: I did mention these are hacked drivers from the internet.

1. Install the USB drivers from your AMD chipset drivers and/or motherboard manufacturer first. These should make most of your USB 3 ports on your motherboard work but not all.
2. Download these hacked drivers:

You may have to play musical chairs to have the right combination of drivers matched to the controllers. On my system these drivers are signed by "Riolin Limited" and they are used for:
AMD USB3.2 eXtensible Host Controller
AMD USB3.2 Root Hub

My drivers I tried depend on these files:
AMDHub3.sys

AMD PSP Device aka PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller:
This driver isn't necessary for a lot of people but you might want it anyways. There are up-to-date drivers for this in the files but they're not digitally signed properly. The best you can do is use PSP Driver\W7x64 with the "Have Disk" method and pick the AMD PSP 10.0 Device driver.

Footnote: The same guy in that Win-Raid thread above says he has signed PSP 11.0 drivers but I haven't tried installing them.

AMD IOMMU Device:
This driver isn't necessary for a lot of people but you might want it anyways.
Device manager can auto-detect this driver and install it from the chipset drivers folder.

Power plans:
You can't officially install them in W7 because it's not supported. You can run AMD_Ryzen_Balanced-Driver and it'll drop some documents in "X:\RyzenPPKG Driver". AMDPPMSettings.exe is supposed to be there, find it and copy it from a folder called "RyzenPPKG Driver". However this doesn't do anything, you still won't get the power plans. A lot of people have good results from the default "High Performance" profile. You can use powercfg -export to get the Ryzen power plans out of a W10 installation and import them into W7 with powercfg -import. Do the power plan do anything in W7? No idea but you can try. I've attached them for anyone that can't export them out of W10 here:

https://mega.nz/#F!OLJx1IQR!yyt_0Bb0UCnrXlKacCln2Q

Import them with powercfg -import X:\y.pow in command line.

i am able to boot my computer into virtualbox with the drive as a rawdisk, but it wont let me install the chipset drivers through virtualbox.

i tried the usb headers on the motherboard and i can't get mouse or keyboard working, i also tried creating a task to install the chipset drivers at log on but with /S or -install they don't install. if i just run the exectuable it will stop at the screen asking to press the install button.

im confused and frustrated. i have a windows install that has a lot of program configurations i dont want to lose. is slipstreaming the drivers into an iso the only way i'm going to be able to have a functional mouse and keyboard on windows 7? is the other alternative buying a pcie 1x PS2 adapter?


i already made an iso a very long time ago slipstreamed with ~150 specific updates, can i just use the gigabyte tool on top of this iso and have it inject all the drivers i need and then a fresh install will have mouse and keyboard? but this means i still wont be able to install because i dont have a ps2 mouse to get through the windows installation?

someone please help me! i tried for hours updating drivers in device manager on virtualbox. i can boot into windows so i know there is hope, i just need my mouse and keyboard. i can't install vnc or remote desktop applications because the network drivers aren't being picked up. i am so lost at this point, any help will be greatly appreciated

 

About power plans,

I installed 1usmus custom power plan from techpowerup and i do believe it is working, i have a little extra perfomance in Chinebench. You can get it from here,
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/1usmus-custom-power-plan-for-ryzen-3000-zen-2-processors/

 

Are there any known issues (BSODs, etc) with the USB drivers from https://www.win-raid.com/t4960f52-S...m/t4960f52-Solution-Win-drivers-for-USB-Controllers-of-new-AMD-X-mainboard.html?

 

I would be curious too, but i do not wanna test it, because right now my Win 7 works really well.

 

Okay, I have tried just about every proposed solution available online without much success. My MSI Meg X750 Ace at least has a PS2 plug and I have an old PS2 keyboard, but the moment I select to install windows it states that it cannot find CD.DVD device driver and that is where I get stuck. I tried to use the Gigabyte tool to create the USB installation disk and everything worked adding the USB drivers but still a no go. I have windows 7 on DVD, but unfortunately the DVD drive I have is an external one plugged into a USB port. Checked the manual to see where there may be USB 2.0 ports and it basically has 2 for front and one at the back where my mouse is plugged in. All of these do not work, I still sit with the same issue, unless the plug I plug into the front USB is not for USB 2.0. The port basically work as when my mouse is plugged into it I can negotiate the bios without an issue.

If somebody can tell me what I need to do I would really appreciated it.

 

Hi there, after many struggles I finally got windows 7 installed installing it from another hard drive due to the USB not being picked up. After many trials trying to install the USB drivers I've failed. I actually did everything you suggested but it would not install. I got a driver which installed but it does not want to work after a nice blue screen. I updated Windows 7 as far as I can but right now I am stuck, I cannot go any further. Any help from your side would be much appreciated.

 

Well I finally got it working except that there are certain drivers which I cannot seem to install. All seen in the screen grab below.

 

I am interested for a dual boot solution with windows 7, as I have them already installed at my second hard drive from a previous setup.
My current system is a 3600x on a gigabyte x570 mobo.

Can I somehow update the installed OS with the needed drivers?

Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

 

I believe it should be possible to do so, from what I've read they recommend you install Windows 7 first on an older system then swap to your AMD Ryzen system and install the needed drivers.

 

Unfortunatily i made a big mistake buying the gigabyte X570 PRO (no ps/2) i have an old windows 7 system and i have a second computer allowing me to boot windows 7.

 

I've been having some better luck with the updated hacked drivers from cannonkong at win-raid. They seem to be working fine for Gigabyte X570 Pro Wifi + 3800X with an exception. There's a known issue where some of the USB ports may cease operating after coming out of hibernation. It seems that they don't always have their state restored properly after enumerating on booting into a hibernated system, and lock up until a full reboot. For me, this happens specifically on the USB 2.0 chipset ports. The 2.0 ports on the CPU, as well as all of the 3.x ports on both the CPU and chipset seem fine. I can make up for the 4 lost USB 2.0 ports with a PCIe card if I really want them back.

 

Very interesting work arounds. Looking at getting a new X570 and Ryzen 7 chip soon. I’m hoping to be able to run Windows 7 on the new hardware. Anyone doing any gaming or run any benchmarks that can show real world gains using win 7 on the newer faster hardware?

 

Yeah, in your other thread, that failed Cinebench comparison lolololol

 

I’m just looking to upgrade my cpu for faster gaming and discovered the new hardware dropped support for win 7. Wanting to build a new sim rig for racing games with 3 monitors and decided it was time to upgrade, then hit a road block or slight detour when I found out the new hardware don’t support win 7. I have a SATA dvd and some ps2 mouse and keyboards laying around. I’m still not sure of my motherboard choice yet but I’d hate to have to pick a less desirable board just for ps2 support but it’s good to know none the less “thumbs up” though for having that option.

Not sure what usb the Logitech G27 is, I guess I’ll have to go research that next.

Edit : G27 uses USB 2.0 but is said to work with 3.0. I’ll have to give it a try if/when I get around to trying this work around.

Hi, I have the MSI Meg x570 Ace board which has a ps2 slot. Great board, had it under dry ice 4 or 5 times already without issues.
