" rel="nofollow - Hello, will AsRock offer some utility for management/creation of Win7 image tool, aka instalable win7 flash disc with optional includement of USB drivers for win7?

I need to instal Win7 64 bit on my Ryzen (1700) with X370 Killer SLI AsRock board. I have already an ISO image of WIn7 that i "burnt" to my flashdisc for Windows 7 64 bit instalation, but i have heart that there might be problems with USB drivers on that Win7 iso and that i should use special USB drivers compatible with Ryzen and include them in the win7 ISO instalation. Some other mainboard manufacturers offer this utilities (like Asus or Gigabyte) but i didnt find this program on AsRock website...: heres from other vendors:

Asus:

Gigabyte:

http://uk.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-K7-rev-10#support-dl

Will AsRock offer this utility/progra? Or does it offer it already...? If no, can i use the program from Gigabyte or Asus for creating Win7 instalation with ryzen USB drivers compatible with AsRock Mainboard X370 killer SLI?

Thank you

I'm pretty sure that, although ASRock hasn't updated the page, that the below link will work just fine.

Post your results please. I'm curious, but rather sure it'll work.

~~They use the same ASMedia USB controllers so I don't imagine any issues using that link I posted.~~

" rel="nofollow - Please note that Windows 10 is the only officially supported OS for Ryzen. That is a Microsoft thing.

The AMD drivers and others on your board's download page will work with Windows 7.

We've already seen how Windows 8.1 update will no longer work with a Ryzen system.

There is a new version of the Windows 7 patcher that is used with Intel boards, you can find it listed on this page:

Now I'm not sure. The ASRock Win7 Patcher, now that I d/l and peek inside, is not the one the OP needs for AM4

OP, best use the Gigabyte one for now.
