Question High end Motherboard recommendation for Win 7 x64 install

[Ma olen oma]

Given that Win 7 EOL is upon us, I'm looking to rebuild a few of my machines with quality high end components and install win 7 x64. The Asus ROG line has proven to be problem free and durable (as well as high-performing), so I've been looking at Asus ROG & TUF. There are plenty to choose from, but given the Win 7 x64 install, I'm thinking I may be limited. I've checked Asus's support site, and while many boards show support for win 7 x64, the latest offerings show limited 'drivers. In fact, some show only BIOS and a vendors list when selecting Win 7 x64 as the OS.

What high end board would y'all recommend, taking into account Win 7 x64 driver issues, etc?

Since I want to use win 7 for as long as possible, the price of the board isn't a factor. I'll spend what I have to.

Further, any comments on CPUs with whatever board as well. The i9-9900K looks good to me, unless there are caveats with win 7 or general problems. I understand the temps can get a bit high, but an after-market cooler should handle that.

Thanks for any help.

Why do you want to keep using an EOL OS? This is not advisable for most users and unless you have some application that MUST run on Win 7, you should reconsider this plan.

Please explain.

You wrote, "In fact, some show only BIOS and a vendors list when selecting Win 7 x64 as the OS. ".

That's because Windows 7 is not a supported operating system on a motherboard with a i9-9900K CPU. You can however in most instances use your Windows 7 license key on a Windows 10 install. I would recommend using the latest Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft and making a bootable UEFI installation USB flash drive with Rufus.

Thanks for your comments. Win 10 isn't an option. Any board recommendations? Thanks!
