    This "tool" was discontinued long ago, long before the 500 series amd chipsets. Hence the "stuck at X stage" problem you're experiencing.

    1. You need CSM option in your bios and you need it to be enabled.
    2. You need drivers for your board's storage(USB/SATA/NVME).

    Regardless, you're better off installing windows 10. At this point you're probably losing performance, rather than getting more, seeing as windows 7 has no actual optimizations for ryzen processors.

    I've installed all 3 BioShock games on windows 10 21H2 x64 and they work. BioShock 2 is kinda funky due to apparently crappy coding/old graphics API but that's a different matter.

    Trying to get this to work on a Gigabyte H410M S2H but not having any luck.
    I have added USB3 drivers but the SATA drives don't show up.

    I have a Windows 7 install already running but it is Chinise. So I know it is possible, how though i am not sure.

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    Can I just adding the needed driver into my Windows 7 Installation without Windows Update patch because I'm somewhat wanted to update Windows 7 patch manually. Though I wish to have my Windows 7 running with my newest setups. It felt awfully disappointed when I realize that my effort to upgrade my PC also cost my OS life.

    My setups are Ryzen 3 3300X, and B550 chipset. Thanks
