How to install Windows 7 on modern hardware (Works on Z390 up to the latest Z690 chipset!)

- Hello everyone! In this video, I will show you how to install Windows 7 on a modern system in 2022. Thanks to the great community of Windows 7 users, this is very possible, even in a time when hardware does not have official Windows 7 drivers anymore. The good news is certain hardware (even today!) does have drivers, like NVIDIA's RTX 30 series cards. Sadly, the 40 series does not, but hopefully someone will figure out how to make them work on windows 7 as well. Wherever possible, it is good to use official drivers (for the obvious security and stability reasons), but the good news is that for the most part, these modded drivers are usually safe. It is still a good measure to check them with a virus scanner first, however.
Prior to installing windows 7 on your modern PC, you first should make sure that CSM is enabled and secure boot is disabled in the BIOS. Also, typically you are better off going with an ASUS or MSI motherboard vs. using a Gigabyte or AsRock board, due to ACPI issues, in which you would get a 0xA5 BSOD. I am not sure about NZXT boards, as I have never had one, nor can I find anything about using Windows 7 on one (at least the Z690 ones in particular.)

You need to apply the registry file first and restart before installing. However, since this is an unofficial driver, I would recommend just getting a cheap dedicated GPU, such as the GT 710 or GeForce 210 even if you don't need anything powerful, just so you can use an official Windows 7 driver).

You should not need SMBus drivers, or any other drivers for your machine to work at this point.
With all of these steps done, you should have a fully working Windows 7 install on your modern PC! Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 things I would like to point out in this video:
1. At around 15:05, I was talking about the NVME hotfix, and I said you need 7-Zip to extract it as it came as a 7z file. You really could use anything, it doesn't have to necessarily be 7-Zip.
2. At the end of the video, I was going to show you guys the "finished product", with the GT 710's drivers installed, but the 32GB SSD that I was using ran out of space as I was downloading the drivers, so that's why I couldn't show it to you. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thanks a lot Elvis, this is a feat MANY of us have been wanting to accomplish for many, many years do to Microcrap's Phishing, selling info spyware crap, BS! I'm almost done with my newest build with 9th gen z390 and I'm so excited to get Windows 7 on it. You Rock man!
No problem mate !
Can you list the hardware of your build? Thank you!
@@raincatchfire My build was pretty expensive. Old or not! For a windows 7 build, you *can* build whatever and do what Elvis showed us, but it doesn't work for everyone. I built my daughter a KILLER Windows 7 PC. It's a 6700k system with a GTX 1660 TI with a Z-170 motherboard and it smokes every game she's thrown at it. 6TH gen Intels are the last *supported* Windows 7 CPU's and you could go up to a Z-270 Motherboard which was the latest Motherboard that supported Windows 7 (kinda). I went with a Z-170 though cause *some* people had probs trying to get Windows 7 to work on the Z-270's. I'd go on Ebay and start looking for those parts I mentioned or..... you could go a little newer and build an AMD system. I think the Ryzen family still supported Windows 7, but I'm not totally sure on that. I more familiar with Intel. The Z-170 Mobo's and 6TH Gen Intels came out when Windows 7 was current, so those are GUARENTEED to work with Windows 7 and still play all the current games. *Some* games you may need to turn down the graphic settings a bit, but not enough to ruin the experience. Just incase you're still interested in the build I'm currently working on, It's a I5 9600K, (There wasn't much difference between the 9TH Gen Intel I5, and I7), so I rolled with the I5. (which I will overclock to 5 Ghz so it doesn't bottleneck my 2080 TI. My Motherboard is a Z-390 and my graphics card is a 2080 TI. Plus a lot of other expensive High quality Corsair parts. Hence the Expensive part of the build. (besides my GPU) Any other questions feel free to ask. Good luck man!
@@raincatchfire Currently, it is a i9 12900k, ASUS TUF RTX 3070 Ti, Samsung 970 EVO 250GB, A 16TB Toshiba HDD, Corsair AX1600i, 2x16 Corsair DDR5-5800, A Phanteks Atx Case
@@corsairpower7520 Say, I was wondering if it's possible to run an RTX 4090 on Windows 7 ?!
Just finished getting Win 7 running on a Core I5 13600KF - Z790. Went down a little bit of a motherboard rabbit hole with this but found a Z790 that works. ASRock Z790 Pro RS/D4. I went through two MSI boards; 6 and 790, neither of which worked due to the non compliant ACPI bios (BSOD on boot) and a gigabyte Z690 that worked but did not have a PS/2 port. USB3 just would not install or work in windows itself no matter what drivers I slip-streamed into the ISO.
System Runs good; very stable. Tested a few games. Assassin's Creed is using all the cpu cores to some degree or another. Didn't even hit 50c when testing. Device manager shows (!) 4 PCI devices (probably M.2 - No NVME driver install attempts yet), one PCI simple Comm Controller, SM Bus and two unknown devices.
Forgot to add: Video card is an Nvidia EVGA RTX 2060. I will get a 3 series when the prices come down in about 2-3 years - lol. I wish people would stop spending $1500 for cards. Prices would drop faster.
Great ! Long live Windows 7 !!
@@himmelskibet Haha! SMBus and all but one PCI Device, PCI simple comm controller and two unknown left after I searched for Intel SMBus windows 7 and found
Intel® Chipset Software Installation Utility. It actually installs on windows 7 which was unexpected. I'm testing the Intel update manager to see if it solves the 4 remaining. I think the memory controller are the unknowns so may never have luck there. I tried to run windows experience but it can't bench the memory. lol
This is pretty cool; getting this far on a Z790 board. Crazy.
Your prebuilt ISO worked like a charm, fussed with the Gigabyte tool as that had worked for me in the past, but with no success and your ISO worked quickly and easily
That is great to hear! The problem with those slipstream tools is that it will just integrate the Intel USB3 drivers, that only worked with Skylake to *maybe* Coffee Lake. Anything after the Z370 series you will definitely need the backported XHCI driver stack from Windows 8, that is used for any USB3 controller.
@@himmelskibet Yea I'm currently runnin with a Z390 + 9900K so it's good to know why those other tools didn't work out. The reason I tried the Gigabyte tool to begin with is I used to have an i5-6200u laptop that I ran Windows 7 on and that was the tool that got the USB3 ports functional on that system.
Great video and can it be installed on MBR Drives since CSM can recognize drives with the MBR Partition Table?
Yes
thanks for this, i now think i have the most powerful windows 7 pc ever (rtx 3090, core i9 12900k)
so lucky !!
Btw the most powerful windows 7 PC is soon to be i9 13900ks 128GB DDR5 and 4* 3090ti 😉
@@himmelskibet hopefully someone can mod the 40 series drivers to work with 7 but i dont see that happening for some reason
Yes I hope so but even still intel is killin it ! :D
@@himmelskibet yeah 13th gen is looking awesome i may buy one some time in the future
Thanks. Worked for me on a MSI Z690 Unify-X. Could install Nvidia drivers for W7 (471.11 iirc), bur could not run any 3D application. Probably a missing library or C++ file
No problem. Long live Windows 7 !!
Gonna do this on my computer. Wish me luck! I hate how bloated the new Windows is. A lot of people keep denying that Windows 7 is safe but it is. It's safe if you know how to use it properly and be smart, you can also just use antiviruses. Windows 7 is the last "true" OS that Microsoft made before turning around and going head first into data collecting and bloating your computer. I'll update this comment and thank you for making this video as i've been trying to figure out how to do this but i had no keyboard and mouse input!
Great! Let me know how it turns out, and enjoy your non bloated OS ! :)
@@himmelskibet I sadly have an bug. Whilst this did fix my keyboard and mouse issues, which i am very thankful for. It unfortunately is not letting me install because of some CD DVD driver issue. Any solution? :(
@@debug262 Are you saying your USB ports work, but the CD/DVD driver is missing dialouge pops up?
@@debug262 Also, what are your specs?
@@himmelskibet Yes. My specs are: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core processor, Motherboard: MPG X570 gaming edge wifi, GPU: RTX 3070, BIOS Version: American Megatrends Inc. 1.70, System manifacturer: Micro-Star, and 32 GB of ram. Btw i'm UEFI
I have had my pc since 2016, I just upgraded my gpu and cpu today and I just used windows 10 for 15 minutes and hated it, so thanks
If your worried about viruses just get an anti virus and just dont download random stuff online anyways
windows 10/11 users cope is saying windows 7 isn't safe, its safe if your smart
Thanks for watching. I don't even have an antivirus, just stay away from shady sites and use common sense online !
I have been online since 1997, never gotten a virus. I install antivirus software or use online scanners if I need to download something that might be suspect, then uninstall as they are all resource hogs,
Awesome!!! I would love to try put Windows 7 on my Asrock motherboard - Z690 Steel Legend WiFi 6E with Intel Core i7 12700K @ 3.6 GHz, 64 GB RAM DDR4 @ 3200 MHz and Nvidia RTX 3060 @ 12 GB VRAM.
**********************
I still using Windows 7 today! Windows 7 still rocking stronger running on my old HP desktop for 10 years since I bought HP computer in August 2013 from HP shopping website! Because I love Windows 7 for gaming! It come with two 1 TB Seagate hard drive (Advanced Format = AF) and it's CMR types. I did upgraded RAM to 16 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz from 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz and added Western Digital Blue 6 TB hard drive (CMR type) SATA for to put a lot of PC games on there. Finally play Starcraft 2 and SpellForce 3 (with modded to remove few useless effect like fogs, blur to increase FPS speed up gain about 10 - 15 FPS total about between 30 FPS - 45 FPS on Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz, 16 GB RAM DDR3 @ 1600 MHz with Nvidia GT 630 (Kepler type) with 2 GB DDR3 VRAM. Windows 7 rocking and very solid operating so far for 10 years! No motherboard failure, No GPU failure, No RAM failure, No Hard drive failure and No Power supply failure yet!!! If something go gone wrong then I know to fix is to replace hardware parts on myself. Powerful HP desktop computer model name is H8-1360T and it's beast gaming computer used low power without overclock so far! Hooray!!! 👍
Because Windows 7 and Windows XP are real sister operating system which are best in the world!🤩
I had old DELL computers with Windows XP used for gaming and love it. I played Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Age of Empire 2 and 3, SpellForce 1 to 2, Armies of Exigo, Age of Mythology and Stronghold games.
I had MSI laptop come with Windows 10 (I disabled auto update with program name is StopUpdates10 to prevent any problems also it will work for Windows 11 and later to block auto Window updates) and play Nintendo Switch games on Yuzu emulator and Ryujinx emulator on Nvidia RTX 3060 and running amazing smooth. Awesome!
I did try Linux Mint running on my Windows 7 used VMware Workstation Pro program without change operating system. I love Linux Mint look similar to Windows XP and 7.
If Microsoft company doing a lot of worse in later new operating system then I will never touch it and will going to Linux Mint for everyday to use on internet in near future. Cheers
My rate for best operating system list:
1st: Windows 7
2nd: Windows XP
3rd: Windows 10
This is great to hear !! Only difference is I would argue 2000 is even better than XP, and if you don't care about directX support, maybe even NT !!
hello, Elvis, i really appreciate your video. I really want to have windows 7 on my Dell laptop and i tried to install it but when i boot your pre-made version, it doesn't work, shows an error and gives me options to restore, and when i try to install it from inside Windows 10, it starts installing but at the first restart it shows the option "continue with installation" in the boot menu (along with my Windows 10) and when i click, it gets stuck on the windows logo. Is there anything specific as a driver which i have to add to the installation ISO? I have DELL Vostro 3500, with an Intel i5 processor (11th generation), I would really appreciate any help.
And also, i read that this stuck image may be due to the need of legacy mode when installing, but my BIOS says "Boot options: UEFI only". What do i do now?
Thank you, I used your file and got Win 7 working and LAN works after installing driver. Now, how to get an Intel AC8265 Win 7 compatible WiFi network adapter working on a Win10/11 Aorus Z390 Pro WiFi motherboard, which came with the Intel AC9560 (not Win 7 compatible) preinstalled? I have two yellow warning signs in Device Manager: the AC8265 Wireless adapter and the Intel 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection. Both drivers are installed successfully but I can't get the WiFi to work. Any suggestions?
The ISO that you provided is not good to install Windows 7 because during the installation it asks for some drivers that we don't have.
You didn't show us on live how to add the nvme driver to the operating system installation files.
what about if i want latest modern games like fortnite, need for speed heat, unbound or forza horizon 5 or any latest assassin's creed games like from origin until mirage or call of duty modern warfare 2019 and + latest cod mw2 2022 also 2023 so on also installing microsft store on windows 7 if possible...etc and what about nvidia drivers for rtx 4070 also becuase i use z690 mobo with i5 12600kf trying to get back old os like either windows 8.1 or 7 and for motherboard i use nzxt n5 z690
i cant find csm on my laptop bios (asus tuf gaming fx506hc) :/
İ have i3 12100f and my motherboard is biostar h610mx e but my wifi drivers doesnt work
Get a cheap intel discrete network card or a USB network adapter to have on hand or slipstream the 7-8.1 driver into a windows 7 ISO using simplix.
@Elvis Mikkelsen
Hi .....i have installed windows 7 on modern hardware but now i can't install rtx a4000 graphics card drivers because it only supports windows 10. How do i install these drivers on windows 7
Search, search, search, some drivers are easy edit to get them work from win 10 to 7 some do not work at all, basically the edition of INF file and making win 7 not verifying drivers certs is enough.
Could you help me with a budget build to use a 6650xt? Can probably only pay $400 tops for both mobo and cpu. Really want to keep using win 7. So far I have learned that I need an MSI board with CSM. I have heard there might be some problems with Ryzen CPUs, but not sure if this is true.
AMD cpu's are compatible it will be hard to find the correct drivers, I think the gpu drivers will be buggy or even incompatible.
Will this work on the 7700x and AM5 platform ? If so, I hit gold.................I love Windows 7 for the software support that it allowed before, other updated OS's.
Yes, it should. Even better if you have an asus or msi motherboard!
@@himmelskibet - Thank You........since Gigabyte got rid of ALL the sound ports and PCI slots, I use mainly Asus and MSI. So it works out for me. Thank You kindly.
With as dragged out this (looking for the files downloaded and such) is I ended up skimming through, is this possible, if so how, on an existing 7 install from older hardware, how can I just install the ssd (2.5") and let it boot my 7 install (then update drivers)?
I will make a video on installing the usb drivers with an existing install.
@Elvis Mikkelsen I'd appreciate that, and I'm sure others would too. Thank you.
It did not work - I get, driver not found, whatnot errors.
My current laptop thinkpad t450s have native windows 7 support with all drivers because has older hardware inside no workaround is need but drivers must be installed manually
See? This is the great thing about having an older system. Fewer compatibility issues. That and (for laptops especially!) having optical drives, ethernet ports, removable batteries, and even more space for adding storage devices, like hard drives and SSDs. I still have my Dell Inspiron 7720 from 2013 as my main laptop. It came with Windows 8, and a 1TB HDD, however I installed a 250GB Intel SSD, and am currently triple booting Windows 7, Windows Server 2016, and Ubuntu (which I don't really use as much). Personally, I absolutely hate modern laptops, as they have awful trackpads (can NOT stress this enough). They somehow think having a single solid block for a trackpad was a good idea. Thankfully, my Dell has a seperate right and left click button, which is FAR superior.
@@himmelskibet my laptop does not have a cd drive so. Before installing windows 7 i will slipstream the network and usb drivers
Hi Elvis, thanks for your video and I got mine to work. I just have one issue where my 13600k stays at max frequency of 5.1 ghz at all times, even when idle. I tried all different modes like balanced and power saver but it has no affect. I think it has to do something with the c-states. Could you check if your pc is doing the same, or could u give me a solution if you know? Thanks!!!
Sure thing! My guess as of now is that there is no chipset (SM Bus) driver
Typically, I just leave mine at max performance anyway, so I have yet to find a chipset driver.
Also, is C-States enabled in the BIOS?
@@himmelskibet yeah i tried installing the one on asus z690 website, and I'm not sure it worked.
@@himmelskibet according to my motherboard, some of the c-states are not supported, but in windows 10 everything seems to work fine. Also, I am not able to install some updates, like a 2022 security update for windows 7. It keeps saying failure to configure updates. Do you know why this happening? Also, do you have a discord server that I can join to better elaborate my issues?
does this work on gpt partitions?
Big Bro 1 qs , Can I install it on a aspire 3 i3 11gen laptop. my bios dont have legacy support and csm option....... Its a quiet big video though I watched it but. before jump into compiling a iso (i tried a lot before), you know..😅
It MIGHT work on UEFI, but I would try to disable secure boot at least.
are there any windows 7 usb 3.2 or 3.1 drivers at the moment? thanks so much.
Does the ISO that I included work? The XHCI USB driver stack should be included.
@@himmelskibet yes it worked haha just changed the usb ports on my pc. also do i need to reboot into the disabled driver signiture enviroment on every boot for my nvidia drivers to work properly?
man I want windows 7 so bad but this looks like too big of a project for me right now
It isn't really ! Did you try the ISO I made ?
Im having problems with nvidia so i have installed succesfully but when i try to turn on aero theme windows breaks and i need to restart every time
With Nvidia graphics card, just use an older driver. Like 360 or 350 range.
@@jankees4037 I'm not going to stress out with windows 7 anymore. It's sad that windows 7 died but that does not mean it'll work on my very new pc. Please stop helping me, im not going to try to install windows 7
i couldnt get this to work, it booted but i had no keyboard and mouse movement. My motherboard is a z790 and it has usb 3.2 ports so i think that may be why. Do you know how i could fix this or if its even possible to go past z690 on windows 7. mobo is ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero if that helps
I honestly am not sure, I do not have any Z790 boards. Did you try slipstreaming the latest version of the Simplix update pack to a Windows 7 ISO?
I am currently on Asus Z790 with CSM on in BIOS, you get it that CD W7 install works. I now have to solve the mouse and keyboard things. But for the rest it works.

hey i have a problem im getting blue screen about BIOS ACPI compliant but i have csm mode turned on and secure boot disabled
Unfortunately, some motherboards (particularly Gigabyte ones as far as I know) have the ACPI issue, In my case, I have an ASUS board, which is much better for legacy support typically than Gigabyte boards are. There could also be a modded ACPI driver somewhere online for Windows 7, but for the time being, it is best to get an Asus board, unless you have one already.
@@himmelskibet well the problem is i have gigabyte motherboard i had asus also but my brother broke it
Lovely
Yeah... for some reason Gigabyte boards are not as good for compatibility. I guess there is also MSI but their boards are not as good as ASUS.
@@himmelskibet so the only thing i can do is look for modded acpi driver i can also try updating the bios i never updated the bios on that board but i guess that wont help
Good God, I just spent the last 12 hours Trying to get to work with no luck, I’ll give your video try tomorrow, but I just can’t get seven to boot no matter what I do
Yup, just let me know, and just make sure to enable CSM and disable secure boot (if possible). Chances are, if you have either an ASUS or MSI motherboard, you should be fine with ACPI.

You're just wasting people's time. Normal people use virtual machines.
