And even if you're doing this for Windows Media Center, just install Media Portal instead - I did that 2 weeks ago with my HTPC newbuild and so far have got a great modern system out of that. Simple solution - install Win 10 or newer. So even if you can install it, don't expect ANY updates from Microsoft, let alone the last batch that were released in 2020. No exceptions.Īlso, Intel does NOT support 9th gen on Win 7 either - and Microsoft actively blocked Win 7 systems from updating if they run 7th Gen or newer Intel, or any Ryzen CPU. So if you do get Win 7 working then have a video driver issue in-game, the fix is to switch to Win 10. Nvidia driver support will be limited to security fixes only, on the 473 branch. Again, you'd need to add those drivers pre-OS install, which isn't something I can explain, and I wouldn't if I did.Īs said above, installing Win 7 on a 9th Gen Intel build 2 years AFTER support ended is foolish and risky. You've not mentioned your boot drive but I can safely assume you may be using one if the other hardware specs you mention are correct. Related note, Win 7 doesn't support nvme OOTB.

Don't ask me how to do this in the OS Installation process as I never did that, having not clean-installed Win 7 for 10 years, on hardware purchased in 2012. That's usually requires the OS to be installed. Win 7 doesn't have USB 3 drivers, so manual driver installation is required that is specific to the USB chipset used. IIRC, vanilla Windows 7 install media didn't come with USB 3.0 drivers.
