Yes modern Linux is way better than modern windows10/11.
As far as i remember Blender rendering was ALWAYS faster in Linux than in Windows for decades.
Since my graphics card doesnāt support Windows 7, I was only able to test the parts shown in the screenshot. I plan to purchase an RTX 3000 series card later and test the other aspects as well. Iāll share the information with you again at that time.

Thank you for your drivers. I have successfully integrated drivers into installation with dism and installed Windows 7 x64 on MSI Carbon X670E. But USB Audio drivers for Realtek ALC4080 Codec do not work even though I integrated them with /ForceUnsigned. When I try to install them manually Windows complains that drivers are not digitally signed. Could this be because of KB4474419 and KB4490628 /SHA-256/ that are needed for your last drivers? How can I force USB Audio drivers to start working? Are there any Realtek ALC4080 Codec drivers that I can use for Windows 7 x64?
Do the system have SHA256 patch? My mainboard have alc4080, it can work very well.

This one worked. I had to use āHave Diskā and confirm few times that I agree that driver is not digitally signed but it works! Thank you canonkong!
I will see later whether I can integrate into windows installation but expect it to work.

I have integrated Realtek SHA1 audio drivers into installation and Windows installs without eroors but there are no sound drivers installed after installation /in Windows toolbar the speaker icon has a red circle with white āXā in it and Realtek device is not shown/. Could this be because drivers are SHA1?
Audio drivers can be installed manually without pop-up warnings that drivers are not digitally signed probably because audio drivers were integrated in installation with /ForceUnsigned command but for some reason are not installed with windows installation. I guess that could be because they are SHA1?
@canonkong Hi, hope youāre doing well!
I was wondering, might you know what driver in Windows 7 that would cause the system to hang or freeze during either boot-up animation or even after a few minutes after in Windows desktop? 
Use DISM++ to make those driver into the install image.
Only ASUS am4 mainboards will have this problem with the win8 mod USB driver. Aviod to buy asus or asrock mainboardļ¼because their am4 bios have bugs.

I used DISM to integrate the SHA1 audio driver into Windows installation image and it integrated without errors but after fresh installation the audio was not detected. Then when I installed it manually by pointing Windows to it with āHave diskā it installed without complains.
In the previous case when SHA2 driver was integrated into Windows installation and I installed SHA1 driver manually it complained that driver was not digitally signed but installed.
In the case when SHA1 driver was integrated into Windows installation it did not complain.
However I do not understand why does Windows not pick up the audio driver. For example network adapter driver is recognized and works, USB 3 driver is recognized and works but audio is not and have to be done manually.
@canonkong Thanks for getting back to me!
Actually Asus motherboards do work with Windows 7, I am using Asus Prime x570-Pro with CSM enabled.
It is only when I inject all my old drivers back into a fresh install that is starts to hang/freeze.
Since you now know this information, I was wondering if you might (now) know what driver from old system could cause the system hanging?
The usb driver for the xhci controller form the CPU will cause the system hanging.

@canonkong Yeah, thatās what I thought too.
Simply because I literally just checked the driver installation log and one of the usb drivers (usbxhci) was one of the last completed before it crashed.
Do you think itās just one driver? Or a few related drivers causing the hang?
No other drivers. You can use this driver pakage to aviod the system hang:https://www.mediafire.com/file/n22izkibm5680od/AMD_Chips_Drivers_For_ASUS_Win7_8.1_SHA256_RE_I.7z/file
I was trying to find out what may be the issue with the audio drivers that I can integrate with DISM but which are not started after Windows installation. I think there is an issue with Realtek SHA2 audio drivers when digital signature is missing. Here are the messages that I get. First picture is what I get when I try to install SHA2 audio drive manually with āHave Diskā. Second picture is what I get after I close the warning message from first picture and is showing that Windows states that driver is not digitally signed.
