Except they will not work. They will work in the bios, they will work when installling windows 10 but they will not work when trying to install windows 7.

There are no USB controller drivers for ZEN2 and X570 motherboard.
Drivers for ZEN+ and X470 do not match.
You need to get a PS2 Keyboard or a USB PCIE card.

Okay look at your manual go to page 9 and then look at number 24 25 listed there.
Actually page 16.

It does, not on the rear IO, on the front of the board, but you need the case cables which lead to the front of the case to use them.

Yes that is correct look at below image then look at no 24 25.
or see for yourself go to page 16 here > http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/X570 Taichi.pdf

Cheap Windows 10 key from the bay is probably your best bet, and then a kind friend with a copy of Windows on a USB stick. I know you probably don't want to use Windows 10, but that seems like the less arduous option!
I have no doubt the manual lists them it’s just that they do not work.
I’ll repeat again. Mouse and keyboard works in the bios, they work during windows 10 installation they will not work when installing windows 7 or even trying to access my original boot drive which has the usb3 drivers installed on it.
I’ve given up now and reinstalled my old gear. I will do a proper install when my nvme drive arrives.
I know, I was just telling the guy above
Lol sorry dude I’m a little stressedI know, I was just telling the guy above

Always keep a usbkey of the latest windows build with slipstreamed drivers sitting close by, comes in dead handy.

There are 2 sets of header pins at the bottom of the board for usb 2.0. (labelled USB 1_2 and USB 3_4 to the left of the Q code display) They are usually used for front panel connections. Based on other comments though I doubt they'll work as there are no x570 chipset drivers for windows 7. Could use a usb expansion card if you had one but easier to just install windows 10.

Asrock has an automated utility in the downloads for their 3xx/4xx mobos that modifies your Window 7 iso image for you. Easier to just use that as it works with other brands as well. Even my HP EliteBook with Ryzen Mobile.

If you reinstall, perhaps, although that utility will not have the new Matisse device-ID listed yet,
so probably will not work either. The utility simply slipstreams AMD-certified drivers into your image, whereas in this case there are no plug'n'play drivers available at all.
This is for people who are already on AM4 and are just applying a drop-in upgrade like I did. I came from 1700x to 3900x, so far so good.

I guess not although getting hold of one last night would have been a challenge. I decided to just wait until my nvme drive arrives which hopefully should be today.is it that hard to get a ps2 keyboard?
Yeah I think I will from now on

I think it was asrock that has an iso patcher for Windows 7, can't remember the exact name of the software, but if you search around it's easy found.

How do you activate it for free? I have another system using my windows 7 ultimate key so couldn't use that to upgrade.
