Taichi MB and Windows 7

You may be right about installing it in the beginning but, it was already installed on my drive. I AM going to look into Win 10 though to see if it can be set up to look and work like I'm used to.

   I believe this was 2 different problems. I already had windows installed on an ssd and as soon as I made sure with minimal connections that the system booted, I connected everything else. The first time, I had the monitor only connected and it seemed to boot to windows. Things weren't right, the display settings were screwed up. I also had to close the case. I put things back together and connected all the cables, usb, network, etc. When I turned it on again, I got Window's changed hardware and missing thing needed error. When I tried to do as it said ( run start up repair), I ran into the second problem ( no keyboard or Mouse). With the screwed up display and the error message, I thought I should install Windows fresh, leading to the forum post.
    The only NEW hardware is the CPU, Motherboard, Power Supply, and Memory. Everything else has worked with Windows 7 for years. Before the upgrade, the system booted with everything connected as I tried when I booted up the first time. That's why I'm confused by the current problem.

   After all these problems, the problem seems to be : windows doesn't want to load with my external drives connected. They are connected to a usb3 hub. I haven't tried just plugging one into a port, to see if it is the drives or the hub, yet. I did try the front usb2 and usb3 ports. I can boot with them disconnected and then plug them in with no problems and they work. That is a pain and takes several minutes while windows is trying to update the drivers. If anyone knows any solution to this, I would appreciate it.
                Thanks

I have been running Windows 7 on an X370 Killer SLI board since last May. However, I prefer a PS/2 keyboard and trackball. I installed from my install DVD, and had just about no problem. It did take quite a few hours to get all of the updates to Windows 7 installed.

I believe Windows 7 with SP1 has USB 2 drivers, but definitely not USB 3.

	win 10 is an easy system to migrate to (and trust me i hate change ! ) also to note the win7 coa will work for win 10 as long as its the same version eg 32/64 bit and the same level eg win7 pro allows win 10 pro then use the create media website from windows to make the bootable usb stick for installation

	Actually, Windows 7 works fine with both usb2 and usb3. I'm using it now. It's just on boot-up withe the new Mother board that I'm having any issues. I had all the same devices on my old motherboard and it worked just fine. Gus

	So, GForsman, you are currently trying to install W7 and have the USB mouse/KB problems? W7 does not have USB drivers for your mouse/KB. You can try the W7 patcher for your board, get a PS-2 mouse/KB or install W10. What do you want to do? Enjoy, John.

	GForsman, now I am completely lost. Please post all your specifications in your signature as I have. Include BIOS/UEFI and OS. Is this a new problem or what was going on all the time? This is why we need to see everything that is part of your system. Enjoy, John.
