Windows 7 installation lacks USB drivers to install from USB flash drive.
Use ASUS EZ Installer to integrate USB drivers into windows 7 installation.

Or install windows 10 - it will not have this problem.

And, understand that you will not have access to Windows Update on that platform. Windows 7 is not supported on the latest platforms from Intel and AMD. Yes, there are unofficial workarounds, but there are absolutely no guarantees that they won't hose your system.

More information needed. What are installing from? A CD/DVD or USB?
What type of storage device are you installing to? HDD, SSD, M.2?

I just did a win7-64 install, painlessly, from an OEM CD/DVD drive to an HDD, then cloned that to an M.2. I had to download win7-64 bit compliant drivers from ASRock (Taichi board) along with TWO MS hotfix files you can find referenced in other threads here at Tom's. Then I had to have the M.2 NVMe drivers from Samsung. All the extra files on a USB.

The install was easy enough and win7 initially complained I was running a pirate copy until I was able to get the system setup and verify my OS via the MS web connection. I am not sure what ASUS offers for win7 compliant drivers for that board, but see if they do and download those. There is no "need" to use win10 if you don't want to or "need" to for some other purpose.
