home-built computer can run upto 12th gen CPU per people. manufactured PC not so lucky. my HP i5-9500 (HP 800 G4/G5) can run Windows 7 but Dell i5-9500 (Dell 7070) wouldn't. no matter what I have tried. install ok but failed at re-boot.
Mine is fully functional minus any USB or Ethernet on an MSI B760 board. Anyone have any solutions for me? My keyboard is PS/2 so that works fine, but NONE of my USB ports work (2 or 3, doesn't matter) and my ethernet doesn't work. Not sure where to get anything like this.
I was wondering, what is the most modern Intel motherboard that Windows 7 (64-bit,SP1) can run now, in 2025? I thought the cutoff point was Z590 for 11th Gen Intel CPUs, since 12th Gen Intel CPUs introduced P/E cores, which Windows 7 wouldn't understand? Is this true? Or can it still use them in some limited fashion? Does Windows 7 run on a Z690 motherboard with a 12th Gen Intel CPU with P/E cores? Well, I searched the forum, and found a few mentions about running Windows 7 on Z690 and Z790 motherboards. But details on driver compatibility seem sketchy. I think I will stick with Z590 for now.
Need help with Win7 x64 USB/NVMe drivers for B760 + i7-14700F Hello everyone! I successfully migrated my existing Windows 7 x64 installation (on a SATA SSD) to a new platform: MB: ASUS PRIME B760-PLUS D4 CPU: Intel Core i7-14700F The system boots fine up to the desktop, but I have no working USB ports, so the mouse and keyboard are dead. Could someone please share live download links for working modified USB 3.0/3.1 and NVMe drivers compatible with Intel 700-series chipsets / Raptor Lake? I need to integrate them into my offline system. Thank you in advance!
Simplix integrated USB 3 and NVMe drivers. Their USB 3 drivers are working for me (I haven't tried their NVMe drivers).
Thanks, I know that. But I can't find these drivers anywhere to download. That's why I wrote this post. By the way, what chipset do you have? I was talking about the B760. Do you still have a working download link?
You shouldn't be linking that. It's a homebrew image and not allowed here. @StratoString simplix uses this usb driver stack and the above mentioned NVMe KBs(either them for boot.wim/winre.wim or the big convenience rollup for install.wim, as it contains them and replaces over 100 older updates).
I think it's a Q270 with 6th gen processor (the last gen that supported legacy boot, they say). I'm now remembering back to a year ago, when I set this up, and I've realized that I had to download a USB driver stack linked in this forum, and it worked well. I was having difficulty with the USB 3 drivers working after Simplix, so using the separate link in this forum worked better.
@Muffin Top H310M-HDV + i3-8100 boots windows 7 with enabled CSM without issues. Even 32-bit. Although the H310 chipset is likely a rebadge of some older chipset.
