    I'm not talking about installer. I was talking about using your previous win7 installation.

     

    Anyway - good luck with win10.

    Oh, now I understand lol.   I may try it on my next build when I have more time to play and trouble shoot.

     

    Thanks

    Do you try to do what I wrote? Just boot your existing installation?

     

    Sometimes I think that my english is not good enough or my answers are hidden / transparent.

    I tried, but couldn't get past the screen where you select the language.  I tried all sorts of settings in BIOS but no luck.  I'm not too bad at figuring things out but I think this one is over my head so I installed Windows 10. 

     

    It's still going to take a while to set it up due to pretty bad internet speed where I live.

     

    I appreciate the input though.

    Thanks for the input everyone.  I did try doing some searching, but not much came up although maybe I would need to try different key words.

     

    I was just curious to see if there was a way to do it at all or a not too convoluted way around it.

     

    Guess I'll try to install Win 10 tonight.

    I've been lurking here for a few years now and decided to build my first rig for some light gaming and productivity (mostly games):

    CPU: Core i5-9600k

    MOBO: Asus ROG Strix Z390-e

    GPU: GTX 1070

    RAM: Dominator Platinum 2x8gb

    PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750

    OS Drive: Crucial P2 250gb m.2

    Storage/games: WD Black sn750 1Tb

    Cooler: H100i pro xt

    (Any other info needed?)

     

    I was wondering if it is possible to install windows 7 x64 on a 9th gen CPU?  (I plan on having Win 10 on another system but like 7 better) I have a Win 7 USB boot drive that I used on my NUC a few years ago which I modified with USB 3 drivers, but when the install beginning screen comes up for selecting language etc, no mouse and keyboard input is available.  I tried moving the mouse to different USB ports, unplugging and plugging back in with no success.

     

    Would a PS/2 mouse solve that problem (I would need to order one)?  I'm currently using a wired Corsair M65 until I can set up my Dark Core wireless.  Or am I SOL with installing Windows 7 on my current chipset/CPU combo?

     

     

    I'll definitely have more questions on my rig later and am glad to be a part of this community.

     

    Thanks for any help!
