So, no USB or LAN support and no drivers on the supplied disk. I did not know Win 7 was not supported at the time. Along with 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 memory. I had installed a new CPU (Ryzen 5 3600x) and an ASUS ROGSTRIX B450-F Gaming motherboard into an existing build with Win 7 OS. This forum and page showed up when I was searching a solution on Google. Phuk a bunch of microsoft and gigabyte, and asus, and msi, et al.Ī bit late to the party, but if anyone is interested. I wish some amateur out there would hack the worthless bios on this gigabyte board. Will use the stinking windows 10 box only for gaming. I will use that one for internet browsing and other net related work.
I am also going to build another box for an AM3+ install like I had before. For fun, try googling " installing windows 7 on an AM4 motherboard".Google comes back empty. So, I am now looking for the first time ever at Ubuntu.
This crap of getting windows 10 rammed down peoples throat pisses me off. Right ! It saw a partition BEFORE this click. See the setup log files for more info.".NEXT. Then, when OK is clicked, I get this message: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. You will be able to access the info in Windows.old, but you will not be able to use your previous version of Windows.".click OK. If it does, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. Exact quote: "the partition you selected might contain files from a previous windows installation. The install process says things like: Cannot install because hard drive has a GPT partition.
If the AMD USB ports don't work have you tried modifying them from the earlier AM3 USB drivers to patch add the Hardware IDs to see if they work on the AM4 USB ports?ĭo you have a snapshot of the Device Manager screen of all your devices shown?Ĭlick to expand.I just bought a new gigabyte motherboard and a ryzen processor and am finding it impossible to install windows 7. Okay is this after the full Windows 7 installs and first time going to the desktop after a clean install or do you mean just copying the Windows 7 installation files but does not get into the desktop portion?Īs for the USB ports not working you are referring to the AMD's built in USB ports or 3rd party? I want to know if the AMD AM4 USB 2.0 ports have the same issue that Intel USB 2.0 ports have.Ĭan you check on your motherboard if the AMD USB ports have something called "xHCI hand-off" in the BIOS? This is an issue only currently found on the butchered Intel USB ports where it doesn't complete the installation since it can't detect the source USB Windows 7 setup files.
Yes I've tried these similar methods on Intel Skylake but does the Windows 7 installation through USB 2.0 ports work till completion to the Windows 7 Desktop screen using just a PS/2 keyboard? Or does it stop somewhere during the installation as if it can't access the USB device from which it is installing from to complete the installation?
