    To my knowledge, the X570 chipset is not Win7/8 compatible. Even if you did get it to run, there would likely be no drivers for the OS. Even more "fun" if the MSI firmware is class 3 and lacks the CSM (I'm using ASUS and these boards still have the CSM).

    X470 chipset has a much higher chance of running Win 7 or 8.x successfully.

    Just put Win10 on for your Crossfire setup. No need to worry about any drivers...

    Is your motherboard UEFI Class 3 (No CSM Support)?
    What Network Card(s) do you have (Send Hardware IDs)
    What BIOS version do you have?
    Does your GPU support GOP/UEFI?
    Are you using NVMe? If so, what manufacturer?

    @Hayabusa I am pretty sure it IS possible to get 7 working on your PC with most/all drivers, but I need the information from your PC.
