    It can be a bit tricky because of the amd G series cpu onboard graphics. Fortunately, there are special drivers Win 7/Win8.1 x64 Ryzen APU Video driver（Update 2020.05.20, Vulkan/OpenCL API support!）


    Some people avoid the G series and have a separate graphics card.

    In addition, for updating win7 on recent hardware, you could use simplix updatepack
