How to install Win 7 on AM4 x470 boards

So, the aim is to install Windows 7 on a computer with new gen specs.

Steps to take.

1. Download the .iso file (from Microsoft site prefferably)
2. Download Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool
Windows7-USB-DVD-Download-Tool-Installer
3. Create a bootable USB flashdrive.
4. Download tool for Usb 3.0 driver integration into Windows package.
Tool for x470 usb/nvme driver integration
5. Integrate drivers for both usb and nvme drives into the Windows package.
6. Enjoy.

Alternatively, if you do not want to use the tool supplied, you can do this via a command prompt using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (dism) but my solution is way more user/noob friendly.

Leave a tip if it worked. Thanks a bunch.
