Was told this unit would run Windows 7 64 bit Pro but cannot find drivers for any os but Windows 10

Hi:

If it has a Ryzen processor, you will not be able to run W7 on there and have the graphics work.

Are you sure, I just read a IP page stating that AMD said they're Ryzen processers would run windows 7,  Strange.

Thank You

Unless by some miracle the W10 driver works on W7, AMD did not develop any W7, 8, or 8.1 graphics drivers for the Ryzen processors.

Take a look for yourself.   All I saw were W10 graphics drivers.

Select Processors with Graphics from the left side drop down menu and proceed from there.

Ok, I had just read a report from PC magazine on it and they said AMD was making special drivers for W7.  Maybe Microsoft froze them out on it.  Here's the link if interested it's from earlier this year.

You're very welcome.

If there was a way to do it, I would have been the one to help you.

You could probably get everything else to work, but without the graphics, there is no point.
