I've built a new PC, can you please help me install Windows 7 on it?
A few months ago I built this new PC, but after installing Windows 10, I was back to my old Windows 7 PC. Today I woke up and found that the motherboard in my Win7 PC, with an OEM Home Premium install, had failed.
Using the drivers shared on this forum, is it possible to get this machine running Windows 7 off one of its M.2 NVME SSDs?? System Builder - Core i7-10700K 3.8 GHz 8-Core, GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GAMING, 750D ATX Full Tower - PCPartPicker
I have an unused Windows 7 Professional disc and activation key, and I've downloaded an unmodified Win7 Pro (64-bit) ISO from Microsoft's website.
I just can't stand Windows 10. I know I can't use Windows 7 forever, but I want to use it as long as I can, maybe acclimate myself to Linux while knowing I can return to my preferred OS any time. I'd like to set up triple-boot with Win10, Win7, and Linux Mint, but I can keep it to Win7 and Linux if that works best.
If someone can point me in the right direction, and let me know what sort of custom drivers I'll need and where I can find them, that would be a massive help. Please help.
