AMD did officially state that there would be no chipset drivers for Windows 7 made available.

That's interesting, because I was on an AMD webinar about the launch of Ryzen (not TR), and specifically asked if Windows 7 drivers would be available.  I was told that they would.

Does this mean you still have the janky Windows 7 setup for Ryzen chips since Microsoft won't "official" support the new chips?

I'm not able to clarify, so I'll add to the confusion

AMD may just have decided to release drivers for Windows 7, but I've seen AM4 motherboard manufacturers release Win 7 drivers from day 1. In principle, those drivers would be for onboard stuff, not inside-the-CPU stuff, but since I don't know what the exact content of those and these drivers is, I can't comment on that.

Windows 7 is only 7 years old. And vastly superior to windows 10, which unlike the Xbone was successful in fucking over the consumer.

They said the same thing about XP when 7 came out.
