    I think I saw backup/restore operations mentioned. My laptops have a USB3 and a couple of USB2s. Now and then, I notice an external usb hdd enclosure appears to be USB3. I have USB3 and USB2 mixes, so my backup and restore speeds are dropped to USB2 levels.
    I only mention the above to make this point: do the backups! regardless of what the usb ports are.

    I've tried asking Asus and a couple of other MB manufacturers and all I get is "Why do you want run Win 7?" They refuse to tell me which, if any, of their current MBs will run Win 7!!!
    avoid ASUS MBs at all costs if you really want to run Win7 on a modern MB & CPU

    @MontanaBob, maybe the best solution for you is to buy a last gen good Win 10 computer with a lot of memory and run Win 7 on a virtual machine.
