Hi guys a quick question which someone might be able to clear up!
I run a dual boot system ( Win 10 64 bit & Win 7 32 bit) on my Phenom 11 x 4 system and it all works flawlessly.
However, I intend to upgrade to a Ryzen 2600 based system but have held off pulling the trigger on buying them as I've read of there being issues with the installation of Windows 7 (64 bit) with Ryzen architecture not supporting required USB keyboard instructions during installation.
I only have Windows 7 32 bit, but it allows me to run quite important to me, legacy software and equipment for which there are no Windows 10 drivers and it runs everything fine and Windows 10 is reserved mostly for gaming.
I'd presume that using an old PS2 mouse and keyboard would overcome the 'alleged' installation issues of the modern Ryzen architecture not supporting USB keyboard functions during installation and downloading essential updates?
It's also unclear from what I've read, as to whether or not the issues are confined to Windows 7 64 bit and/or whether or not the issues arise only with the later '2000' series chips and mobos and not the '1000' series!
I have my original genuine copy of Windows 7 32 bit installation disk and while no one installs 32 bit OSs from scratch these days, I see no need to upgrade to 64 bit as Win 7 32 bit runs my legacy software and provides drivers for all the kit I have so I wouldn't waste money on upgrading to Win 7 64 bit in any case!
So can anyone shed some light on this issue ( if there is one) as I want to resolve any anticipated issues before I begin upgrading my system.
Thanks in advance.
