I think we are walking the line here. AMD, ASUS, MS do NOT support win 7 on these new chipsers and cpus. Frankstein installations. For what ? The bot.
My nerves hit red today trying with 15 tools to make the thing work.
No no thanks. Fuck the bot.

My nerves hit red today trying with 15 tools to make the thing work. No no thanks. Fuck the bot. I can share the sentiment, from what I'm seeing only the USB drivers are what need to be Franksteined.
So far for everything else I've been able to find an older driver.. like the Ethernet card, the controller on my MB was released in 2012, the SMBus and other AMD board drivers.. I was able to use tho old rivers linked above. the installer failed, but I was able to go to the device manager and manually update each component driver and point to the extracted AMD driver.
just now I officially blew my install trying to install nVidia drivers... needed a SHA-2 security update and gives me a BSOD on boot.. and I can't get in to Safe Mode... Next time I use a real Win7 driver that I have saved and not use a new one...
bummer, I was so close. had internet, Firefox, CPU-Z, GPU-Z.. lol so close...
I also could not manually create a restore point.. the app would crash... hmm... such oddities..
ok, install coming, likely won't be until the weekend... need to spend time with the family.

I made it.
USB 3.0 is a NO GO. Drivers are Fucked.. install and a bank of ports work... re-boot then nothing works.. re-install drivers.. a different bank works... soo.... F-it.. I have the PCIe that works. Ethernet works...
saying F-it to USB 3.0 and I don't care enough about the WIFI card built in to the MB

I know e drivers in XP you had to do a Function Key press to install them before Windows would install. I think W7 has that as well

The major stumbling blocks for Win XP are the stroage controllers and the USB controllers for starters. Compatible PCIe SATA/RAID and USB cards are a way forward but then I think the other major roadblock is ACPI support...

You have to ensure XP detects it because XP is not perfect via function key press on install. Or was it APIC.

@eiderman1 there are a couple of topics pinned at the win-raid forum about installing XP on modern hardware (x86 and x64). Wikipedia article about Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

I just built myself a sweet little backup computer on my test bench using Windows 7 with a b450 Tomahawk Max and a Ryzen 2700x that I had lying around. I used the W7 tool with usb drivers at the MSI site and also used a old ps2 keyboard for the install just to be double sure. Worked fantastic!
