My desktop PC had Windows 7-64 on it from years ago. The main Hard Drive failed. I'm trying to restore that with the Winodws7-64 SP1 CD I've already upgraded the mother board BIOS and installed Service Packs Kb4490628 and KB4474419 in that order. What other service packs do I need and what order to install them. As it is loading some of ASUS drivers gives me errors "This does not meet the requirements for this software".

    Hello @Gerald Guild ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A and informed us about the issue. Just a little note: Windows 7 has not received any update since 2020 and also out of date and perhaps the ASUS driver does not support Windows 7 anymore. I would advise update your PC to the latest Windows OS version such as Windows 11 to received better support and security for your PC. You can refer to this topic on how to Install Windows 11
