Use rufus or the MS ISO Tool to create a bootable flash drive. Sheesh ...........


I used the asrock tool.... With the key with integrated drivers I created with RUFUS there was something wrong.

First, I created an ISO using ASRock's tool. Then I created a bootable DVD from that ISO.

From there:

  • I had to physically disconnect every other drive so that the only two drives were my DVD and the target drive where Windows 7 would be installed.

  • I used a USB-to-PS/2 mouse adapter that I had in one of my parts bins. I connected the mouse only. No keyboard.
  • I booted from the DVD and used the mouse and on-screen keyboard for the installation and to fill in all information.
  • With all other drives still disconnected, I then installed the various ASRock drivers and AMD video drivers. This allowed me to have everything recognized: USB ports, WiFi, audio, etc.
  • I connected my keyboard and rebooted and then began the massive installation of Windows 7 updates - probably about 300-400 in all, taking roughly six to eight hours.
  • I reconnected my other drives and rebooted.
  • Windows updates now apply correctly, and I really like my system running Windows 7 and not Windows 10.
I'm overclocking this PC, but Windows doesn't recognize it. Whatever.

By the way, I tried using a USB drive for the Windows 7 installation, but it wouldn't recognize my target drive as being valid. It would only work (for me) using a DVD installation.

Well, used to :) I don't think this is still possible.

I need a way to solve the 0x00000a5 error I get. I don't have the PC with me at the moment so I cannot check if in the bios there is "windows 7 compatibility" option, like I have in my MSI intel board.

It is still possible, a friend of mine just did it over the weekend.? Win 7 Ultimate key worked just fine.


Wow awesome!!! Any hint on how to make it work? I'm gonna try tonight, so, your help would be greatly appreciated :)
He just input the key when asked while doing a win 10 install off of USB.  Once the system was up and running and connected to the internet it activated without issue.
