Can’t install Windows 7 with a X570 Tachi

Strange reading all these issues. W10 had been fine on my old Sandybridge machine for years and on my new Ryzen one. Only BSoD I've seen was with overly optimistic RAM timings.

Usually there's some sort of hardware issue, windows 10 doesn't tend to **** itself for no reason.

Agreed. Windows 10 is the best OS ms have released and for me puts mac OS is the shadow too.

Any issues like this are not OS instigated.

I've actually found W10 to be a lot more stable than W7, and the latter would **** itself regularly for no other reason than it could.
 
Yeah windows ME was not that good.
I remember the days of installing windows 95 off floppys, that and office 4.3.
Started my IT career out building pc's and it was a nice old floppy disk slog, between the two packages it was like 50 3.5" disks.. must have done that hundreds, several hundreds of times... er maybe even 4 figures worth.
Never want to see another office 4.3 install floppy again.
 
It begs the question, if you were doing it regularly why didn't you use the network installation that was automated, albeit after a couple of hours of getting it setup for the first time? One floppy disk and one user input, maybe two at a push, then it was all done. :D
 
These were the days before networking was common, 95% of the pc's we built didnt have a lan connection.
Yeah it could have been automated and i did move to more easier methods down the line, but i was like 17 so the world of IT was such a big bad looking scary monster at that time - now i am the scary monster in the corner of the IT office.
 
Well it appears that windows 10 just doesn’t like me either.

Had a bsod yesterday which windows needed to repair my e drive for some unknown reason it then rebooted into windows but happened again. I left it while I went out and it magically sorted itself out and was in windows when I came back, I was then sat watching tv and I heard my computer rebooting itself.

Long story short I eventually kept seeing a windows error ‘thread handle not executed’ message every time I either tried to boot into windows or tried to install windows. So I unplugged all drives and could then get the windows install disk to work. After formatting my nvme drive I got windows couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one :mad:.

So I followed this guide https://appuals.com/fix-we-couldnt-create-a-new-partition-or-locate-an-existing-one/

And entered diskpart to manually wipe and create a partition and now it gets stuck at the press any key screen while trying to install windows. I cannot do anything, I have no existing install because I formatted the drive and I cannot get the install boot disk to work.

Pulling my hair out and now randomly I am now able to install windows and am currently installing windows 10 for the second time. So far I’ve not had a very good experience with windows 10, if it’s something I’m doing wrong then that’s fine, I don’t mind learning from my mistakes but I have no idea what it is that I’m doing wrong.
 
From what you describe it sounds very much like a bad RAM module, or the outside chance of a dodgy CPU (tiny, tiny chance).

Try installing and running with one RAM module, then swap it round if you are still seeing the same issues. Also set them to 2133MHz.
 
I just noticed on my asrock board there is a ps/2 emulator mode for USB, OP has already decided to move to win10, but if anyone else is in the same dilemma, and they like OP absolutely hate real ps/2, then look in the USB page and see if you have that option.
 
Ryzen is supported on windows 7 as AMD has released drivers for that specific platform, atleast for Zen and Zen+. The problem is that the windows installer image does not have the required drivers per default to enabled support for it so you are forced to use the PS2 port, if you have one, and ps2 keyboard to navigate and install the OS and the drivers. Other option is to slipstream the drivers into the image(both boot and install image) but this requires some reading and involves a good deal of work. The only way i made it work was through a custom script on startup that installed the usb3 drivers and the use of unattended installation.
