I am having a lot of trouble getting Windows 7 to install on a new build based on the ASUS Z97-C motherboard.
Reason for the Build:
The computer will be my primary DAW in my recording studio. It will be a CLOSED (no internet) system. I have proprietary PCI audio & MIDI interface cards. The Z97-C has 3 PCI slots and 4 PCIe Express slots. It is replacing my aging LGA 775 Q9650 3.GHz DAW running WinXP SP3, Win 7 SP1 and Win 10. Primary applications are Reaper, Sonar 8.5.3, and Sonar X3.
Here are the ASUS Z97-C specs:
SOCKET: LGA 1150
CHIPSET: Intel Z97
CPU: i7-4790K 4.0 GHz
RAM: 32GB
SATA 1: DVD Burner
SATA 2: 160GB hard drive
SATA 3: 2TB hard drive
M.2 Slot: 500 GB Team Group SSD PCIe Express (Target Boot drive)
BIOS: 2801 (last one released)
PCIe Slot 16x : USB3 card (all other slots are empty)
Target OSs: Windows 7 SP1 Professional 64 bit & Linux Mint 21.3 dual booted.
ASUS has Windows 7 64bit drivers for this motherboard. i7-4790K is listed in the ASUS supported...
