I've seen people running this board with 1950x that have installed windows 7.
i once got it installed but since then haven't had any luck even getting it to boot the usb stick (have made changes to the stick since then)

can i get a detailed list of what i need to run win7
does the bios version limit me and if so what one do i need to be running, how specifically would i revert back to a bios that can run win7.
are there bios options that need to be enabled or disabled and if so, please show screenshots or directions to get to each of those features.
if i put the win7 on usb drive with usb 3.0 drivers, how do i go about putting it onto a flash drive. does it need to be gpt or mbr, as in will one work and the other doesn't?
Anything else i should know or do?
basically i'm looking for a guide on exactly how to do it, excluding the slipstream of the usb 3.0 drivers.

I don't care about EOL, i simply want win7 on this machine on 1 ssd, then on another i can run win10. I also don't want to do virtual running it within another os.

New doesn't mean better, just that you've got something else to sell.
