Hey all,
I'm building a brand new work PC and everything boots, big beautiful picture. My keyboard (USB PnP) works perfectly plugged into any port on BIOS and MS-DOS screens but stops when the "Install Windows" GUI starts.
In the BIOS everything is there and functional, I know I have to use the 1 USB 2.0 port on the board as the 3.0 and 3.1 ports aren't active yet, any thoughts?

The Board has no PS/2 port so even with an adapter, I'm still at the mercy of the 2.0 port.
Here's the setup:

Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO
Ryzen 7 1700
32GB DDR4 2400

Windows version?

Most likely you'll need to create a bootable USB drive of the Windows ISO, and incorporate USB drivers into it. This is why I avoided the Gigabyte range. I went with MSI as it has a single PS/2 port, which allows for at least a keyboard-only initial installation. Also, MSI's 'Smart Tool' can incorporate RAID, NVME or USB drivers into the bootable drive.

Suggest you look into what Gigabyte has for similar scenarios. You might need to familiarise yourself with NTLite and 'rebuild' your ISO with USB drivers.

MS and the mobo makers really shafted the builders this time, in their drive to do away with tried and tested older techs.

UGhhhh... I was afraid of that

When I created the Windows 10 64 bit ISO (with MS Media Creation Tool) it would'nt even boot, so I was using my Windows 7 64bit, do you think I'd have the same problem if I went to 32bit?

No idea, but what would be the point of a 32-bit setup, given the hardware and file size limitations?

For what it's worth, I spent several days trying to get Windows7 drivers to go on a Ryzen 2 system. My teeth have lost some length, and some of my hair is missing. 😀

Finally bit the bullet of Windows 10, and other than an oversight (Windows 10 struggled to recognise NVME as valid volume unless it was the ONLY drive present), it was fairly straightforward.

I had the dubious advantage of a PS/2 keyboard to take me a lot further than USB only could. It's debatable if it was actually worthwhile, as it allowed me to keep trying installations, only for repetitive BSODs with Win7. Had I just had USB, I probably would have shifted to Windows 10 a few days earlier.

Edit 32GB RAM and 32-bit? Best of luck with that. 😉

I was just thinking I'd have better luck on 32bit but after giving it some thought it's obvious that aint it.
It seems like the motherboard is my issue and the lack of a PS/2 port.

WHY DO THEY DO THIS??????

Never had a problem with gigabyte and Windows usb drivers (built 4 systems this year with b350 mobo's), the latest Windows 10 iso downloaded from Microsoft should have all the drivers incorporated. You should then go to the manufacturers website and get the latest mobo drivers but I've never had any usb device not work during installation. Win 7 has problems due to no usb3 drivers as part of the base iso install.

I think you missed the main point here, a 350 board has a PS/2 slot, a 450 does not.

I dont know a single motherboard out there that uses 3.0 until drivers are install by OS, I always have used USB2.0 to use mouse/keyboard.

now this could be old information as I am , but never encountered a board that did not have a usb 2.0 port ( and I sues MS mouse/keyboard that work off 1 usb device so I only need 1 for keyboard so never tried it before.
You may if all USB ports are 3.0 look into bios (yes I know how do you get there is the question) for legacy usb support or not area for answers
