Page 40 of your manual has all the instructions for installing Windows7 on your motherboard. If you have a CD drive it's a no brainer. If you don't have a CD drive page 41 has the instructions to patch the installation.

I'd like to help but I can't test the utility right now and I couldn't reproduce the Win setup problem anyway as I'm on H97 chipset. Have you tried mounting the ISO and using it as the source?]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 22:43:34 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11802&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11802 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11801&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11801 Author: bb10789

Hi yea I tried using that. I did that with an installation flash drive and tried to use that software to make another flash drive. It says error every time, I only have an ISO file, so I have to start from a flash drive.]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 22:17:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11801&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11801 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11799&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11799 Author: aerDNA

You can't install Win7 from usb on Skylake chipsets due to dropped ehci support. Asrock provides a workaround - you need to patch the iso with this:

No, the flash drive is the installation media, which I used to boot from bios(UFEI). I am trying to install windows on my HDD, it is in ACHI mode. ]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 12:07:27 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11784&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11784 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11780&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11780 Author: parsec

Are you using a PCIe SSD as the OS drive, and trying to install in UEFI mode?

Since you've provided zero detail about the OS drive, or the settings in the Storage Configuration screen (AHCI or RAID), not much to say except ask more questions.

Hi, I am using a ASROCK z170 Pro 4S motherboard, I am trying to install Windows 7 pro on my build with i5 6600k. But when I install the windows 7 with a usb, it says "A required CD/DVD drive device drive is missing."  I am using usb 2.0 ports and tried everything online, have someone experienced this before? thanks]]> Mon, 28 Mar 2016 10:47:22 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2320&PID=11779&title=installing-windows-7-pro#11779
