Wrong motherboard for W7

asauce · 2019-06-06

I mistakenly bought an Asus Prime H370M-PLUS board as a platform for a new Windows 7 installation. (The machine will be used by an elderly person who has tried W10 and can't handle it, so W7 is a must) By the time I realized that this board has no native support for W7 it was too late to return it. I understand that it might be possible to integrate the correct drivers into my W7 Ultimate 64bit ISO, but this is beyond my capabilities. However, if it [I][B]is[/B][/I] possible to do this, I'm prepared to pay for the work. My only alternative is to buy another W7-compatible board, that will also accept the Intel Coffee Lake i5 8400 CPU and 2 x 16GB DD4-2666MHZ ram that were part of the original purchase. Advice would be appreciated.
