I'm thinking of buying the 'MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC, S-1151' but I notice on their website that only Windows 10 64 is supported. However, when I open the chipset and LAN driver installers, it says that Windows 7 is actually supported, what's up with that?
I don't need the VGA driver and probably not the SATA driver either, so do you think it will work if I just install the chipset and LAN drivers on Windows 7? Is there anything that you know of that could go wrong?

I'm attempting to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit from a USB flash drive on my new PC, but my SSD is not being recognized and the AHCI driver is failing. Whenever I boot into the Windows 7 Installer I'm prompted with
Select the driver to be installed
.My PC specifications:
- CPU = Intel i5 6600k 3.5 GHz Quad Core
- MOBO = MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
- RAM = 16GB DDR4
- SSD = Mushkin Reactor 1TB (MKNSSDRE1TB)
- GFX = Intel HD Graphics 530
I downloaded the On-Board SATA AHCI/RAID Drivers from MSI USA, and selected the
Hide drivers that are not compatible with hardware on this computer
which left one driver to be installed: Intel(R) 100 Series/C230 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller or intel_rst_skl_w10WIN_ALL_14.6.0.1029f6flpy-x64iaAHCIC.inf
but it fails with The device driver could not be installed. Contact your vendor for an updated driver
. What's going on here? Do I need to contact MSI or Mushkin for support?randomdev2randomdev2

The challenge you are experiencing with the new 170 series (intel 100/C230 chipset) is due to Windows 7 installer iso's not directly supporting xHCI usb mode.
Your choices are to either install Windows 7 from DVD or modify your usb drive with the drivers. Asus has a write up here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/Z170-K/DE164_100_Series_Windows_7_Setup_Guide_print.pdf
And more information here: https://rog.asus.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-74220.html
Following the notes from the links worked for me so far without issue.
A new link for the Asus boards with an updated bios shows a new setting that should help: asus dot com/support/FAQ/1013649/but I haven't been able to test this yet.
And for those of us who like the back story on the issue, here is a link on that subject: forums dot guru3d dot com/showthread.php?t=396172
Have a great day,
