You might be interested in these modified Windows 8 USB 3 drivers:
USB 3/XHCI driver stack for Windows 7/Vista | My Digital Life Forums
They work well on my MSI X570 Gaming board as well as my older P8P67 LE with an ASMedia USB 3 chipset. Pay particular attention to page 5 of the post about what to do if Windows freezes during boot with certain bios.
Thanks for that, very much. Trawling around I've found two archives related to this. 'Ryzen 3000 Serise_149_drivers_for Win7_2019.12.12.7z and AMD_AM$_X399_TRX40_drivers_86_Win7_8.1_SHA256.7z. I'm suspecting the first is the right one, but would like to confirm? It's a bit unfortunate the spelling mistake in the name, but that's life lol.
Kindest regards, and thanks for the heads-up.

I found this video here on getting Windows 7 to work on x570 chipset boards:
You Won't Believe It! Windows 7 Running On A Ryzen 5000 Series CPU - YouTube
Yes, Windows 7 works fine on the X570 chips. I've been running it with a Ryzen 3900X since Nov 2019. The reason I'm posting to what is now a very old thread is to let anyone who still runs across these posts know that Windows 7 can be made to work on the new AMD 7000 series processors. Canonkong has modified drivers which allow the use of a 7950X on the MSI MAG B650M Mortar.

My experience with this:
been using asus prime X370-PRO and ryzen 5 2600 on win7 for a long time. worked perfect.
decided to upgrade to ryzen 5 5600. flashed latest bios and installed.
run into problems with amd usb driver installation.
yellow question mark in device manager and GPU not working/driver crashing at start-up (amd rx 6800).
the rest USBs on main-board work without problem. this is what I gathered from my research for this main-board:
it has 3 types of controllers.
I proceeded trying to fix amd usb issue by using driver from winraid page (AMD USB 3.0 Controller & Hub v2.0.0.60 WHQL) and edited .inf like mentioned here in this thread (DEV_145C to DEV_149C). after that I was able to install usb controller without problems.
after testing these 4 ports my conclusion is this:
- seems that only 1 port (of 4 in the back) is working properly. with other 3 I get hangs when copying data to usb stick.
- keyboard and mouse seems to be working properly.
- usb headphones have a problem with crackling sound, when moved to chipset usb port, no problem detected.
pic of the working/not working port (with usb stick data copy):
my question for you is, If I just stop using these 4 ports should that be enough for not experiencing some additional problems down the line aka are these drivers used in some other way by the system/with other devices or something similar?
I would maybe buy additional USB PCIe controller and just use that when needed because for everyday usage the ports I have without these 4 are more than enough (keyboard, mouse, usb headphones, usb cable for mobile and 1 or 2 usb sticks. problem is for 2 usb docks for HDDs I use for wich I need good and stable USB 3.0 speeds so that's why I would maybe get this addition controller.
Another solution I could try is those modded drivers from user canonkong from winraid, but I'm afraid of mentioned BSOD loops and I'm not sure can I just unpack his set of drivers and use only this specific usb controller drivers or I have to use the whole set?
Is there anyone that actually used r5 5600 with this x370 board with win7 successfully?
would I have better luck with r5 3600 or I would face the same issue?
thanks.
