Just want to know

Windows 7 is not supported for both the 19XX and 29xx series Threadripper CPUs. I tried on my 1950x and all I got were BSODs. Windows 10 only.
How is that w8100 working for you?My 1950X have no problem with 7:

and with newest BIOS-es (pre 29xx series) I did install Win7 on Gigabyte X399 Gaming7, MSI Gaming Pro and Asrock MATX boards

AXm77, please could you remind me what mobo do you have exactly and the last version of bios which supports Windows7?I don't think so. I did try to update to newest BIOS in my 1950X (Asrock X399M) and it prevent Win7 to boot (hang out on logo animation).
I've never been able to get Win 7 to install on mine without a buttload of drivers to install as a part of the process - the install crashes or hangs every time. I am way too lazy to make such a driver disk or integrate the drivers in the install image. So I guess I have to run my 1950X with Win10.So, i suppose 1950X is the last cpu which is possible to use under Windows 7 wing..
Please report back if you do so. I am very curios regarding this cpu.1950X definitely is possible as I run it myself on a Zenith Extreme mobo with W7. Don't know about the 2nd gen ones. If I had the hardware I would try by taking an existing working 1950X/Win7 setup and replacing the CPU.
Take care Microsoft did some update in February or March 2017 which prevents W7 to boot on UEFI. The evil thing is that the update was optional but Microsoft passed it as mandatory and so about all Asus mainboards froze at boot. There is no real solution to the problem except to put your BIOS in full CSM mode is the option exists. Other option : hide the upgrade in Windows 7 Pro before updating. The last option : full install and avoid the update and stop them to february 2017.I don't think so.

You lose benefits of the hardware by running virtual machines. The problem is to run all cores at full speed on Windows 7 (Pro).Just run Windows 7 as a virtual machine and the CPU/driver issues are moot. A bit of GFX pass through and gaming should work just fine as well.
Depends on your motherboard, your settings in the BIOS, and your avoidance of about 5 incompatible Windows 7 updates you have to hide during the update process.31 cores with HT is better than not running at all though.
Not sure what update you're asking. The update of Windows 7 pro to avoid against UEFI is KB3133977. If you installed it, you better had not an Asus motherboard, UEFI activated at install. Every change at boot will trigger the secure boot who will block your system at boot. Crazy stuff that can happen on a old working systems.Mashie, thanks for pointing out! Could you name the number of this update?

Fixed. The statistics of finding a high end processor using an older OS is pretty slim.Still we don't have any confirmation that somebody made 2990x running under Windows 7. I've searched web and youtube without any luck.
Pretty sure that it is imPROBABLE..
What is the best performance you can get from running a VMware virtual machine on Linux ? Compared to what to expect without virtualization. I believe you can make a reservation of like 30 cores/60threads with 100GB out of 128 GB into Vmware. Can you expect full compute power of those cores in VMware ? I can imagine there is no huge need of a graphics card with Cuda or OpenCl once you have something close to a Threadripper 2990 running with 100GB of RAM. However what is the best graphics hardware you can virtualize in VMware ?That is why I suggest running Windows 7 as a virtual machine in VMWare on top of say Linux (which I do on all my systems). The underlying hardware will be invisible to the Win 7 install.
So we still don't have any real life confirmation that 2990wx works in Win 7.
No info, no content on youtube.
Anyone?
How typical. I am interested personally, can't say anything regarding others.Do you mind if I ask why anyone would run a 2990wx using windows 7?

From AMD:
*OS Support
Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition
RHEL x86 64-Bit
Ubuntu x86 64-Bit
*Operating System (OS) support will vary by manufacturer.
I have a 2990wx running Ubuntu. I could test Windows 7 for you, but you need to give me a good reason.
What is the use case for Windows 7?
I need to buy to test it.why dont you test it?
To buy cpu, not win 7 key. I just want to be exactly sure that 2990x runs win 7.Win7 keys are under 10 bucks bro...
If I can get zen+ working on win7 (win10 is pc cancer imo) then surely a 2990x would be fine. Hardest part is usb drivers (use the gigabyte usb driver tool, worked on my msi lol) and switch bios to legacy mode..

You are speaking aabout 1950x, right?To spice things up, after some conversation with MihaiN, I retested X399M with latest BIOS 3.50 and it working with Win7 .
Fanboys are fanboys. To post this to inform people is one thing, but it's clear what someone looks like if they have a post like this to go along with a certain tone.. Years of being into tech and I still don't get why people go out of their way to try to make a point like this. Buy what you like and enjoy it, don't worry what others think.
I got the brainwave to install Win7 a while back on my 1950x. Windows 7 really does not like Win 7 and NVMe drives at all as it sits out of the box. could not get it installed without creating a driver disk containing all the AMD chipset and Samsung NVMe. Too much hassle. So I simply put my Win10 image back on (I always make a boot drive image before doing anything major on my system).
