Hello,

I am having problems trying to boot this just bought mobo with win7 at the very first time. In fact it has never did a first boot.. Tryed everything possible, after many tips from internet, and not being able to find the legacy usb option, I decided to try if my usb-boot would work in another pc and it worked. Am i only able to install windows 10 in this mobo? Or is it just win7? Boot manager brings an error at the very beginning of boot loading.

I wish i could use win7 pro in this mobo. I don't like win 10.

Thanks.

Your are finding that trying to put 7 on a board built for 10 is not easy. That said it has been done. Best advice is to put 10 on it and move on.

Since I cannot use Linux on this setup, seems like I'll step back, instead of moving on, cause win10 is a donkey. Thanks for replying.
